Describe the procedures of carrying dangerous cargo on board.a) The acquisition of information about the dangerous cargo.b) Precaution on loading and discharging.c) Maintenance during the voyage.We should know what name, IMO-Class and package of the dangerous cargoes. These also should be noticed to stevedores.

Describe how to ensure a proper stowage for general cargo.a) General factors to be taken into account in cargo stowage.b) Special considerations for cargo stowage.The term stowage factor means the cargo’s volume been divided by its weight. It is veryimportant. From it, we can calculate how many cargoes can be carried. For example, if one ship’s capacity is 12000 cubic meters and a kind of cargo’s stowage factor is 1.5 cubic meters per ton, we calculate that ship can carry the cargo 8000 tons in weight. Of course, the ship’s net dead weight is equal or bigger 8000 tons.When we use cargo’s stowage factor to calculate s ship’s capacity, we must consider the broken space and ship’s net dead weight. We also should consider that how many holds the ship has and the kinds of cargo. As us usually, we arrange these cargo, which has small stowage factor, in low hold, and those cargo, which has big stowage factor, in the tween-deck.5.

Except for original damaged before discharging, others is not been responsible by the carrier.According to the charter party, the damaged cargo must be surveyed on the spot.
