The role of shipping company employees in speeding up ship handling

Shipping company employees can provide significant assistance in the development of bilge work mechanization and acceleration of ship handling.

The correct selection of vessel types for the transportation of certain cargoes can greatly facilitate the mechanization of bilge operations. If possible, single—deck vessels should be used for the transportation of bulk cargo, and double-deck vessels for bulk cargo. For the transportation of timber and other long-length cargoes (pipes, rails, etc.), single-deck vessels with very large hatches should be used. Transportation of coal, ore, etc. of cargo unloaded by grapples should preferably be carried out on ships with metal flooring, and ships with wooden flooring are more convenient for transporting bulk cargo. For the transportation of bulk cargoes, it is best to use vessels with an engine room in the stern (there is no propeller shaft tunnel in the aft holds). Transshipment operations in the holds of ships are greatly simplified when transporting homogeneous cargoes. Mixed loading of heterogeneous cargoes into one hold significantly complicates both loading and unloading.

The shipping company's operating staff should take all this into account when choosing the types of vessels for a particular line, when selecting the cargo lot for loading the vessel, which will make it easier to mechanize bilge operations in the vessel.

In addition, shipping company employees should develop minimum measures for each vessel to facilitate loading and unloading, such as: cutting additional hatches, increasing the size of hatches, reliable lining of the propeller shaft tunnels, removing tank necks in the hold cavity located in the hatch opening and damaged by grapples, rearranging ladders, etc. These reconstructive works can be carried out during scheduled ship repairs.

In addition to organizational and technical measures, the most important task is to widely develop a socialist competition of crane operators, all machine operators, port loaders and maintenance workers and ship crews for increasing the productivity of transshipment machines, for the maximum development of high-speed ship handling.

There is no doubt that the collective efforts and creative energy of advanced crane operators and marine mechanics, inventors and innovators, designers and port operators will ensure that the tasks set will be fulfilled for the further progress of the socialist economy, the further growth of the power of our beloved Motherland, and the fastest movement towards communism.
