Cargo Loading--A Proposed Approach for Maximizing Space Utilization of Containers Loaded with Palletized Loads.

Abstract

An in-depth analysis of space utilization in cargo containers to be loaded with palletized loads and shipped by barge indicates that space utilization can be significantly improved. This report describes a loading procedure which uses analytic techniques to precisely define the amount and arrangement of loads at the three different loading levels involved. Development of a computer program to implement the results of the study is recommended.
