The final decision to load various types ofgeneral cargoes or not depends on many factors involved in this kind of trade. Operating multi-purpose vessels and loading general cargo on them is a very different approach to loading the same kind ofcargo on reefer ships. Imagination in preparing the stowage plan, creativity in the combination of cargoes stowed together and co-operation with the crew are the keys which can open many possibilities. Reefer vessels are not ONLY suitable to carry cars while on ballast voyages, they are able to carry large variety ofgeneral cargoes too. Heavy items loaded under-deck (usually more than 1.7 tons/square metre) should be placed in such a way that weight is equally distributed and in such a place(s) where strength ofthe vessel is greatest. Items higher than 2.2 meters should be placed in hatch squares (usually ‘A decks’) where the height of the hatch coamings will allow such stowage. The length ofthe cargo and the size ofthe hatch coaming will determine if particular cargoes can be acceptedfor shipment or refused. Finally, loading heavy cargo on deck depends on deck strength, lashing points and ship’s stability. So, almost any kind of general cargo can be loaded on reefer vessel, and don’t be afraid to do so.
