MARITIME TRANSPORTATION OF CONTAINERIZED CARGO

Condensation may cause severe damage to cargo loaded in containers. The condensation phenomenon is discussed in general. Some major important factors with regard to the condensation risk have been evaluated theoretically as well as practically. A certain transportation situation viz. the transport of tins in cardboard boxes loaded in containers from Australia to Europe v.v. is simulated with the help of an electronic computer. The results from these calculations are compared with measurements that could be performed under normal practical conditions. Recommendations are given concerning the measures that can be taken to avoid or to minimize condensation. Proposals for future work are made.
