Oceangoing Cargo Ships Various Operation & Safety Matters
In changing times, the operation, design, and build of merchant ships have altered significantly. Today a new cargo ship operation involved many complexities during all stages of cargo loading, carrying at sea and discharging. Keeping pace with commercial needs and also ensuring safety for all shipboard activities increasingly become a challenging task.
This site is a quick reference to the international shipping community about cargo operation, navigation safety, maintenance procedure, prevention of pollution, and many other safety guidelines. However, various procedures that have explained are only indicative,
not exhaustive, and practices of good seamanship must always be followed.
- During the last few decades increased trend of carrying merchandised goods through containers has been termed as one of the enablers of international trade and lifeblood for the global economy. Containerization permits door-to-door services which might be from a factory production site to the retail distributor's store.

Oil tanker underway
-
World trade relies on tankers. Tankers are specialized vessels that include crude oil, product, chemical,
LNG, and other tanker types. Tankers spend considerable time in ballast given
the typical one -way nature of the underlying trades. Tankers are self-discharging
Moreover, most are equipped with a series of pumps that allow for a fast
turnaround in port. When carrying certain oil types, many tankers will ask
to heat the cargo (using the ship's heating coils) to reduce the cargo viscosity.

Regular ship maintenance is critical for the energy-efficient operation and smooth running of all machinery items and systems. Ship systems' deterioration might occur due to normal wear and tear, fouling, non-alignment, long periods of operation, etc. As a consequence, equipment downtime, quality problems, energy losses, safety hazards, or environmental pollution may result. The end outcome is a negative impact on operating cost, profitability, customer satisfaction, and probable negative environmental impacts. Thus good maintenance is in line with good performance and energy efficiency.
