ON THE DAMAGE OF CONTAINER CARGOES AT PORT OF KOBE AND SELECTION OF SHIP ROUTE

While the use of containers in shipping has led to a decrease in the incidence of many types of cargo damage, there are a few types of damage that are particular to containerization and whose incidence has increased. To prevent these container-specific damages, their causes and degree must be known. This paper reports on an investigation of the stochastic properties of the damage. The study used about 1,000 reports of the Japan Marine Surveys & Sworn Measures Association, which are summarized. Some interesting conclusions are drawn. Morever, a method for selecting a North Pacific ship route that will prevent the occurrence of sweat damage is discussed as a sample application of study results.
