- Timber shall be laid on deck before loading commences. Spacing between timbers should not exceed 3.0m.
- Pipes shall be loaded in a fore and aft direction unless otherwise specified by OPERATORS representative and/or Vessel Master.
- Timber of sufficient strength shall be placed between each layer of pipe. Wedges shall be placed on timber if necessary, to prevent the stack from collapsing during loading.
- Pipes shall not be loaded more than 3.0m high unless otherwise instructed.
- Since it is required that pipes be lashed for every 2.4m wide stow, care should be taken to place the chains before the container fitting holes/lashing points to be used for lashing are over-stowed.
