For high density cargoes with low centers of gravity which prevent the cargo from capsizing, it may be best to use stowage methods that allow controlled movement.
Cargoes such as granite or marble blocks, for example, can be secured with friction devices: tapered floor supports that gradually absorb movement; steel trestles with stanchions mounted on beams that distribute weight; drag bolts to prevent slippage of cargo support braces etc. Chains or strong straps must be used to keep this equipment in position. |
