Lloyd’s Register (LR) and Jurong Port in Singapore have collaborated to revise the Best Practice Guidelines for Stowage and Securing of Steel & General Cargoes, with a strong focus on personnel safety and reducing damage risks. The updated guidance aims to enhance cargo handling operations by ensuring personnel safety, preventing cargo damage, and improving discharge efficiency across ports and supply chains.
Given the increasing complexity and value of supply chains, the new guidelines emphasize a consistent and practical approach to cargo preparation, stowage, and securing, addressing common issues such as poor stowage, inadequate securing, and inconsistent cargo presentation that lead to cargo damage, operational delays, and safety incidents.
