Safe Transport of Containers by Sea

1st ed. Discusses the responsibilities of those involved with the correct packing and stuffing of the cargo into containers, the accurate labelling and declaration of the goods by cargo interests, and the weighing of loaded containers. The guidelines address the safe handling and stowage of containers when they are received by a port facility and are loaded on board a ship, and also cover the maintenance and inspection of containers themselves. Includes searchable electronic copy on CD-ROM.
