About this ebook

Container industry is gathering pace as vessels are becoming increasingly larger, with the volume of containers carried regularly exceeding 23,000 per vessel. This means the scope for accidents and incidents is also increasing exponentially.

This title aims to provide those professionals involved in the packing and handling of cargoes inside containers with the necessary knowledge to do so safely. This will help ensure container collapses are avoided due to inertial forces both at sea and during land transportation.
