Let me show you how containers work It's possible that most things around you

The food you ate the phone or computer you are looking at

We have anything from apples to frozen meat

to explosive or toxic gases on the ship Some of the things we carry is pretty bizarre

But Everything actually begins in the office with a team of people we call “central planners”

They draw up cargo plans for the whole supply chain

Then its sent to our chief mate to adjust as required

The containers are loaded by the port's crane

Starting from the bottom stacking up like Legos

These cargo holds can be as deep as 40 times 40 meters

The space are built with these long sail guides that runs downward

And this.. is what an empty cargo hold looks like

Once its filled, a “hatch cover” is placed on top so that more containers can be loaded

The ones above on deck will need extra lashings to secure them

Workers from the port handle the physical labor of lashing

Thank god because these full metal rods are very very heavy

Turnbuckles are twisted to tighten the steel rods

For that we have Turnbuckle, short bars, long bars, and twist locks

twists lock on our ship Some are manual some are automatic

It all depends on the location of the container but they serve the same purpose which is to

Once again it really is just like stacking

Legos The fruits and frozen products are transported

by reefers Reefers are short for refrigerated containers

They are pretty much a gigantic portable fridge It can keep temperatures anywhere from room

temperature to -30 degrees That's…-90 Fahrenheit for murica folks

Well as 3rd mate My job during cargo operations is to monitor

the loading and discharging progress Afterwards checking the lashings to make sure

it's done properly The last thing we'd want are containers

falling into the sea if we ever run into bad weather

Other than that we keep watch on the overall condition of the ship

Including safety and security Checking the mooring lines and looking out

for any suspicious activity like stowaways or pirates

So that was a general overview of how cargo operations are done on container ships
