If the load consists of homogeneous products, you must use the complete volume of the container, carrying items such as cardboard boxes or short lengths of wood etc. well secured in position. For cardboard boxes, this system will reduce friction damage. When free space is unavoidable, plan your stowage so that the empty space is in the center of the container (begin packing from the sides, and continue filling towards the center). Fragile products that cannot be supported with wood or tied with cord should be secured with nets. Cover the load with as many nets as possible, and secure them, tying them to the tie-down rings or bars provided in the container.

Products in fragile packages can be damaged when stacked on top of one another. Distribute the pressure by inserting separation material or plywood between the layers at regular intervals
