These spaces can be considered the most important because they have that which is the sole reason for the existence of the ship.
Load retention
If holds are not clean or well maintained, they may be rejected for loading with subsequent financial penalties to the owner's account.
It is essential that cargo holds are maintained to a high standard at all times. This should be a continuous process where any rust/scale that develops is removed as quickly as possible and the surface is suitably coated with the correct type of paint. Delays in maintenance will inevitably lead to further deterioration in quality and possible additional long-term maintenance costs.
Particular attention should be paid to the following:
Double bottom manholes, vent pipes and sounding pipes should be checked for leaks.
All appropriate fittings must be in place and tight to the load as required.
Fire detection and extinguishing lines, where installed, must be inspected for damage.
Bilge wells must be cleaned if necessary. A bilge pump should be installed on each bilge in turn to keep the lines clean and working.
All wires, shackles, pulleys and any other ship's equipment used during cargo operations must be inspected at the beginning and during operation.
GOALS (catalog shipbuilder ru)
The safe stowage, carriage and delivery of cargo is the primary interest of owners and/or charterers and, in fact, the very essence of the existence of company personnel, whether ashore or afloat. It is the ship's masters who must constantly strive to achieve the following goals:
The cargo space and carrying capacity of his vessel, on which his profitability depends, are used most economically.
Protection of the crew and ship from danger or injury resulting from the manner in which the cargo is stowed.
Protecting cargo from damage, loss or deterioration and ensuring its reliable delivery.
Achieving the best dispatch from each loading, unloading or bunkering port through good planning and close communication with its agents.
TRUCK UNIT
The Chief Officer must ensure that sufficient cargo equipment is available at all times, this will include:
Rigs, cranes, winches, runners, fenders, etc. (this also applies to
equipment for lifting tankers).
Slings, nets, trays (pallets), jerk blocks, grabs, etc.
For tankers, chests, manifold couplings, pipelines, pumps, etc.
It is vital that the ship's equipment is thoroughly inspected prior to arrival at port and that all winches, derricks, cranes, gear and all associated equipment are in good working order with all relevant safety certificates/proofs and chain registrations maintained up to date.
Methods for the safe operation of cargo equipment are described in detail in the safety manual, which should be referred to by all interested parties.
The condition of cargo equipment must be carefully monitored and should never be used for loading/unloading cargo if there is any doubt about its suitability and capacity. equipment required.
