OF COURSE DR
also when on chemical tankers with different cargoes funny things happened already.
But those container ships getting really in the crossfire,, not the ships,,,but the container.
I remember once,, loading in RDM and we were 800 m/t over the draft we should be.
Weight is there always an issue. IMDG is always the second problem. Problem with IMDG is not only that not reported, but also for example the complexity of the IMDG code.
For example,, certain IMDG classes are not allowed to stowed beside a live reefer container,
even in opposite bays (distance ,if not abbuted,m between bays is usually 2.40 m or so.
So if the "hot" motor of the live reefer point to the end of the IMDG con 2.4 m away then it is not allowed,, however if I turnb the reefer around,, it is !!!
I was once called in the middle of the night from a young Chief Mate,,stowplan identified 92 conflicts... 89 of them were with involvement of dead reefers, not life one. It is sometimes an impossible task. Most ontainer lines have good peo0ples in their ops department who make the stowplans, but some ,, I telling you,,the give a s..t on anything
important the cargo goes on
