They usually have a plan of where each container is going and it's weight, and a nice piece of software that calculates the order that the containers go on to the ship. Some of the container movements in the harbour are to redistribute the containers into the proper order for the next leg of the voyage.tipping a carrier over whilst in harbour would take a little while ?
is there not some sort of sensor on the bridge to indicate a looming issue ??
On the mislabelling issue, I would have expected that the crane would be able to weigh each container and update the lading plan in real time. Perhaps that’s not the case?There's various reasons that could happen ...
From malfunctioning Flume tanks through to 'mislabeled; containers .....

Thanks for this good intro videos: they explain al lot of the operation in large container terminals and cargo loading / unloading. I have some experience with ship cargo and the container terminal at Basel / Rhine. In fact, each kg and each position is well known and large databases and software systems track each container position. I think, it is not possible to do wrong loading ... other than switching off the whole storrage plan.
Upssssss ... I am very surprised what happend. Did not know that this is possible while in a (professional) harbour.
Well - storing fifty bottles of good beer and some ten bottles of Prosecco on our 50ft yacht does normally not cause any problems ...)
Seeing the speed that the crane operators moved the containers around at in Zeebrugge nearly 20 years ago was quite an eyeopener for me back then.Thanks for this good intro videos: they explain al lot of the operation in large container terminals and cargo loading / unloading.

I guess there has been a huge problem with the vessel?
Sounds like the equivalent of men in brown coats hammering panels on car production lines.The Container gantry drivers are a) stuck to a time schedule that is tight ... b) they just lift / put container where told.
Well at least no loss if castlemaine.Obviously carrying Castlemaine XXXX and they made the same old mistakes of the past, of popping a bottle of Sherry on the top for good measure! When will they learn?![]()
