2 Location of stowage

  2.1 When considering the location for stowing a heavy cargo item, the typical distribution of accelerations on the ship should be kept in mind:

  • .1 lower accelerations occur in the midship sections and below the weather deck; and

  • .2 higher accelerations occur in the end sections and above the weather deck.

  2.2 When heavy items are to be stowed on deck, the expected "weather side" of the particular voyage should be taken into account if possible.

  2.3 Heavy items should preferably be stowed in the fore-and-aft direction.
