Shipping News and information / Re: MSC Napoli report
« on: April 30, 2008, 06:58:43 AM »
There are other containerships out there suffering cracks and not all are as big as the Napoli.
The MAIB report makes no mention of having studied the history of loading sequences. Consider the shearing force stresses on the largest ships if entire Bays are totally discharged and adjacent Bays are fully loaded. Coupled with under declared container weights and discontinuity of longitudinal strength, this could have had a serious effect over time
