LESSON 1
General cargo ship
General cargo ship
The cargo holds on
these ships carry almost
any kind of cargo, both
piece goods and bulk
cargo.
The cargo is packed into drums, boxes, bags, bales and
crates or on pallets. The ship is loaded and unloaded using
portside cranes and ship’s derricks that lift the cargo
through the hatches and store it into the holds.
A general cargo ship has several large clear open cargocarrying holds. One or more decks may be present within
the holds. They are known as 'tween decks and they permit
cargo segregation and improved stability.
