Shipping Stowage
Regular Stowage
Special Stowage
On Deck Stowage Also, of course, such goods would be the first to be thrown overboard
or jettisoned should the ship run into trouble and need to be lightened. Because of the above factors, marine insurance rates for such goods are higher than for goods stowed below deck.
Liquid Cargo Many of these are located in the lowest part of the vessel and are often filled with seawater, if no liquid cargo is available. Other such tanks are between the decks. For very large liquid cargo, specialized tanker ships are used. |

Containers Bigger export firm have a traffic department will take care of overseas shipping. With smaller firm, this task is usually delegated on a fee basis, to freight forwarder. The following steps are involved in a typical overseas shipping procedure. 1. The Freight Forwarder is advised of the export order. 2. The terms of sale are examined to determine the exporter's shipping responsibility and ability to fill the order. 3. If letter of credit is involved, it must also be carefully examined to insure that any shipping conditions (such as shipping date, no partial shipments, discharge port, transshipment restrictions, etc.) are met or, if impossible to meet, arrangements be made for the letter of credit to be amended. 4. Quotations on freight rates sought from different shipping agents.5. A shipping line and vessel are selected. 6. Space is booked as early as possible (as shipping space is not easily available to all destinations) through a shipping agent. The space should be on a ship with an acceptable loading port and acceptable estimated time of arrival (or ETA) at the required port of destination.
The agent that represents the shipping line will, in booking the space, requires full details of the shipment, including weight, size, contents value, ports of shipment and destination. This is recorded by the exporter onto a shipping note that is sent to the steamship office.The shipping agent then sends the exporter a contract number and an engagement note showing the details of the shipment, including name of the ship, destination, loading port, loading date, arrival date, and the shipping rate.The exporter may cancel the space that has been reserved if the export order falls through. However, it should let the shipping company know as soon as possible so that the space can be allocated to someone else. Otherwise the shipping company will invoice the exporter for the unused space.7. Customs forms are filled out for the country of destination.
10. The shipment is dispatched to the port with a consignment note. 11. A bill of lading is obtained from the shipping company and freight charges are paid. 12. The bill of lading and other required documents are delivered to the bank for collection.
