3.1 Wire coils should be stowed flat so that each
coil rests against an adjacent coil. The coils in successive tiers
should be stowed so that each coil overlaps the coils below.
3.2 Wire coils should be tightly stowed together
and substantial securing arrangements should be used. Where voids
between coils are unavoidable or where there are voids at the sides
or ends of the cargo space, the stow should be adequately secured.
3.3 When securing wire coils stowed on their sides
in several layers like barrels, it is essential to remember that,
unless the top layer is secured, the coils lying in the stow can be
forced out of the stow by the coils below on account of the ship's
motions.
