Here at WSI, our container transport company in Sydney know that the proper packing of cargo should not be underestimated.
Although the containers themselves are thoroughly tested to ensure that they can withstand stress and strain, this protection alone is not enough.
When the container is on board a ship and the ship is sailing, there are 6 ways (more than most people think), in which the ship can move. When the ship moves, so does the container and the cargo inside the container. Each of these movements causes a different kind of stress on the cargo packed inside the container and if there is movement of cargo inside the container, there is a great chance of damage.
Ships have been recorded as having huge rolling movements of up to 40 degrees! So, you can only imagine what could happen to the container loads.
