To ensure the safety of containerized cargo during transportation, various preventive measures must be taken, one of which involves promptly securing the goods to prevent damage during transit. Many exporters lack sufficient knowledge about cargo securing, leading to unnecessary issues in this process.
In daily operations, the main methods of securing container cargo are as follows:
1. During loading, use supports such as square wooden strips to brace the goods.
2. If there are gaps between the cargo and the container walls, horizontal reinforcement can be done with square timbers; additionally, inserts, cushions, or wedges can be placed to prevent cargo from shifting during transit.
3. Use ropes, straps, or other rigging to lash and reinforce the goods, ensuring they are not damaged due to vehicle movement.
To ensure the safety of containerized cargo during transport, proper reinforcement must be done, and special attention should also be given to cargo arrangement. Mixed loading that could cause product deterioration or contamination should be avoided. Specific scenarios are as follows:
1. Dry cargo must not be mixed with wet cargo during transport to prevent moisture absorption and mold. Additionally, if the cargo requires high dryness, appropriate desiccants should be added or other drying methods employed.
2. Normal goods should, as much as possible, not be mixed with those having strong odors or other irritating smells, to avoid flavor contamination affecting product quality.
3. Try not to mix any goods with powdery substances, as these are unstable during transport and highly prone to explosion; separate loading effectively reduces the likelihood of such issues.
4. Dangerous goods must never be mixed, as their properties vary and their emergency measures differ; mixed loading could easily trigger secondary hazards.
5. Goods with different packaging types should not be mixed and must be loaded separately to facilitate normal transportation.
The above explains safety measures for container cargo during transport; these measures are essential to ensure smooth shipment completion.
