Book Description
This guide has been prepared in an effort to further the successful intermodal carriage of cargo in answer to the requests of shippers. This method of shipping has numerous advantages but like everything else, it has to be done right. We believe if care is taken, claims can be reduced significantly and in many cases eliminated. The booklet has been compiled as a generalized approach to intermodal transport and door-to-door shipments which include rail, highway and ocean. Whenever the word 'container' appears in the publication, it is a reference to an intermodal freight container. The same principles of stowage outlined for such containers may be applied to typical highway trailers that are carried on a roll-on/roll-off ship. It cargo is shipped in any way other than door-to-door, or if the cargo is to be containerized at some point enroute, use complete export packing.

The National Cargo Bureau furnished a chapter on stowage of grain bulk cargo. Also included are discussions on breakbulk cargo and how the ship's officer can prevent condensation or moisture damage, the most common cause of cargo damage claims.This edition provides vital information and questions and answers for candidates taking a U.S. Merchant Marine license examination, and is an important refresher for those who have already received their licenses.

The National Cargo Bureau furnished a chapter on stowage of grain bulk cargo. There are also discussions on breakbulk cargo since the same principles of stowage apply in a cargo hold or in a container. A whole chapter is devoted to how the ship's officer can prevent condensation or moisture damage, the most common cause of cargo damage claims. This edition provides vital information as well as questions and answers for candidates taking a U.S. Merchant Marine license examination, and it is an important refresher for those who received their license some years ago.
