Operational Guidance for Prevention of Cargo Loss and Damage on Container Ships

Abstract Ship-specific operational guidance onboard container carriers can assist the ship master to avoid excessive motions and accelerations and thus prevent loss and damage of cargo. The paper outlines considerations regarding such operational guidance, particularly relevant factors for cargo loss and damage, conditions of excessive roll motions in waves, probabilistic criteria and standards, numerical methods and methodology of numerical simulations. Examples are shown for a modern container ship.
