Cargo Work For Maritime Operations

---

The world of cargo operations has changed considerably from the days of the open stowage of merchandise. Unitized cargoes in the form of ‘containers’ or Roll-on, Roll-off cargoes and pallatization have generated a need for
alternative handling methods and changing procedures. The work of the stevedore/longshoreman has moved on to a vastly different role to that previously employed in general cargo holds. The cargo units are labour saving and tend to require a different mode of working. In many cases, ship’s crews or rigging gangs have replaced the role of the previous style of dock labour. The fork lift truck and the container gantry have been the source of the major causes of change within the cargo-handling environment and the demise of labour intensive activities.
Unlike the previous editions of ‘Cargo Work’, this new text has taken the changes to the industry and included the cargo-handling equipment and the procedures being adopted in our present day. It is anticipated that cargoes
can no longer be a stand-alone topic and must incorporate the modern methods of handling, stowage and commodity together. The two topics of cargoes and handling equipment have therefore been combined in order to appeal to a wider readership and give greater coverage to the prime function of shipping.
