Centerm Ship
General
- Order paperwork according to flowsheet
- Make sure you identify and have all the loadback and discharge paperwork
- On twin paperwork, identify back and front bays (aft/fwd)
- Renumber cells according to the number that are open/exposed below deck
- Add reminders for lid and hatchtender warnings
- Highlight all reefers
- Colour loadback by block
- Make note of any twin lifts with cones on only one can
- Periodically double check the bay that you are loading matches the bay on your
paperwork!
Warnings
- Five can warning for hatchtender before loading or discharging any 20's below deck
- Five can warning for ship foreman before uncovering or covering any lids
- ALL CALL channel "Attention everyone, crane 3 is uncovering 2 lids, heads up!"
Discharge
- Confirm with ship foreman reefers are unplugged before discharging
- Especially watch for reefers below deck!
- Tell gantry to avoid reefers until we get confirmation. Let them know when they're getting close
- Orange trailers can take only a single 20' tank to middle of the trailer; have them line up for a 40'
- Single 20' tanks to the back of gray trailers; two 20' tanks must be tight to the back and tight to the front
- If a bombcart takes two single 20's, one goes tight to the back of the trailer and one goes
tight to the front
- Always type in back can first
- All FLD (failed) cans have the bombcart wait out of the way and they will get a destination in a
few minutes
Loadback
- Have bombcarts pass each other or hold back so the gantry doesn't have to fill holes on deck
- If above deck is, for example, 14 wide and a can is already in cell 12, load cell 13 then cell
14 so the gantry doesn't have to fill any holes
- If above deck, load inshore 20's last so gantry doesn't have to go up and over. Call mobile if
flowsheet needs to be changed
- Always watch stackers on 45' containers!
- Be clear to your gantry and repeat how wide the bay is on each call if you are loading cells
close to the offshore
- When saying numbers in the teens, repeat each number individually (e.g. "Fourteen one four;
Fifteen one five")
- "We have 10 open cells, let's fill up cell 7, then fill up 6, then 5 all the way to 1"
- "We are 14 one four wide, let's do 5 passes from cells 13 one three all the way to 2"
- "Let's just do all the three-highs offshore to inshore"
- Underline the container number if you have sent a bombcart to pickup that container or given
that bombcart instructions for stackers, cradle the container number if you see the container on
a bombcart, finally close the cradle (box the container number) when the container is physcially
being loaded onto the ship
