Study Notes
Cargo Handling and Stowage
- Essential for safe loading, unloading, and transfer of cargo on ships.
- Equipment selection depends on cargo type, vessel type, and operational needs.
Types of Cargo Handling Equipment
-
Cranes and Derricks
- Used for lifting and moving cargo on various vessel types.
- Safety measures include load distribution, regular maintenance, operator training, and safety zones.
-
Conveyor Systems
- Operate on bulk carriers for continuous cargo movement (e.g., coal, grain).
- Key components include conveyor belts, idlers, drive pulleys, loaders/unloaders, and elevators.
-
Pumps (for Liquid Cargo)
- Essential for transferring liquids in tanker vessels.
- Types include centrifugal, axial flow, and positive displacement pumps (screw, gear, eductors, peristaltic).
- Safety measures include proper venting, regular maintenance, and monitoring flow rates to prevent leaks.
-
Winches and Capstans
- Used for mooring lines and anchoring activities.
- Safety considerations include load limits, regular inspections, crew training, and emergency stop features.
-
Forklifts and Pallet Jacks
- Primarily used on Ro-Ro vessels for moving palletized cargo.
