Container Loading Planning

Plan container and truck loads safely and efficiently: inner and door dimensions, CBM and utilisation, stacking and orientation rules, weight distribution, securing and VGM. Finishes with a quiz and two 3D simulations in Cargo Studio.

Instructor: Tim Academy Stowage.id

What you will master

  • ✓ Read inner dimensions, door opening, payload and the CSC plate to choose the right container.
  • ✓ Calculate CBM, volume and weight utilisation, and cartons per container while accounting for broken stowage.
  • ✓ Apply stacking, orientation, support and dunnage rules so cargo is not damaged.
  • ✓ Spread weight across the floor, secure the cargo and understand the VGM obligation under SOLAS.
  • ✓ Build mixed load plans for a 40HC container and a CDD truck using Cargo Studio 3D.
