  Stowage is the process of arranging cargo in a ship's hold or on its deck. It is an important part of the container shipping liner's network and operations. The goal of stowage is to maximize the efficiency of the ship's cargo capacity while ensuring that the cargo is safely secured and protected from damage. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Stowage is typically done by a professional stowage planner, who will take into account the size, weight, and type of cargo being loaded onto the ship. The planner will then create a plan for how to best arrange the cargo in order to maximize efficiency and safety. This plan will be used by the crew to ensure that all cargo is properly loaded and secured. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When planning for stowage, it is important to consider the size and weight of each item being loaded onto the ship. This will help ensure that the cargo is properly secured and that there is no risk of damage due to overloading or improper loading. Additionally, it is important to consider any potential hazards that may be present in the area where the cargo will be stored, such as extreme temperatures or rough seas.
