Hello, as a Jr. Officer, I have been paying some particular attention on the advanced calculations of forces included in the CSS Code. But I found it difficult to understand, or, at least it is required some solid explanations or examples to get how to use those calculations. I was wondering if the C/Os actively use the mentioned calculations while lashing operations or they rely on the knowledge of stevedores at ports. Would you make a video giving details on how to use the calculations with an understandable format in your channel?
CO probably rely on the calculation in the approved cargo securing manual. As long as cargo gears are as per the safe working load mentioned in the cargo securing manual, everything is fine.
Hi. Preparing for orals. Can you please advise from which book, or code can i get answer to this qts "Where can we look for damage and defects most commonly encountered on ships structure due to loading/unloading ops, corrosion, severe weather conditions.? Thanks.
@@oralexammmdprep8110 Hi Thanks for replying,i am not onboard at the moment, can you advice from where can that report be derived,cant find anything as such on the internet. Thanks again.
CSS is like LSA Code, and cargo Securing Manual is like fire fighting manual or life saving appliances operations manual. Code puts the requirement of a certain manual for certain ships, the that compliance is CSM. I hope this should clarify.
Below are the definition from the Cargo Securing Manual Guidelines... I would soon making a video covering that: Standardized cargo means cargo for which the ship is provided with an approved securing system based upon cargo units of specific types. Semi-standardized cargo means cargo for which the ship is provided with a securing system capable of accommodating a limited variety of cargo units, such as vehicles and trailers. Non-standardized cargo means cargo which requires individual stowage and securing arrangements.
