The weather deck is used to stow cargo that is too large to go through the hatches , or when there is no room below deck for stowage . Whatever the reason , deck cargo is loaded last and dis -charged first . This prevents cargo from being lifted high to pass it over the deck cargo ,
Cargo han-dlers should stow cargo so that the strongest structures of an item will bear the greatest pressure and weight of that item
Ensure the careo hold area is clean before stowing cargo . If the hatch is not cleared,pieces of wood from broken crates may get under the pallets when they are put into the storage position . A lopsided pallet may cause the whole shipment of cargo to shift when the ship is at sea .
