Year: 2005 Language: english Author: D. J. House Genre: Technical book Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 344 Description: The world of cargo operations has changed considerably from the days of the open stowage of merchandise. Unitized cargoes in the form of ‘containers’ or Roll-on, Roll-off cargoes and pallatization have generated a need for alternative handling methods and changing procedures. The work of the stevedore/longshoreman has moved on to a vastly different role to that previously employed in general cargo holds. The cargo units are labour saving and tend to require a different mode of working. In many cases, ship’s crews or rigging gangs have replaced the role of the previous style of dock labour. The fork lift truck and the container gantry have been the source of the major causes of change within the cargo-handling environment and the demise of labour intensive activities.
