Problems of sea transportation of temperature sensitive cargoes and preventive measures

Shipping temperature-sensitive cargo by sea can be problematic. We should be careful in transporting them and we should also be concerned about securing the type of agricultural cargo from this type of transportation. Some essential points for the transportation and handling of heat-sensitive cargo, such as achieving the desired temperature in the cargo Considerations During sea voyages, our understanding of how these heat-sensitive agricultural products are loaded, and ensuring that the cargo arrives safely at the port of discharge, are vital and important considerations that must always be considered. It is very important to understand the importance of temperature during sea transportation, so it must be ensured that the proper temperature of the cargo is maintained during the sea voyage, and this can only be achieved by regularly monitoring the temperature of the warehouses during the voyage. Cargoes must be fully trimmed and secured to avoid unwanted movements and shifting during the trip, especially in the face of bad weather conditions and endangering the balance and stability of the ship. The self-heating process of the cargo can also raise the temperature of the cargo to such an extent that the remaining oil in the cargo starts to oxidize. This causes spontaneous combustion and may even lead to sourness, discoloration or blackening of the cargo. Damage to the cargo may be worse due to long sea voyages or long waiting time of the ships at the anchorage of the destination port (discharge port). It is not possible to determine whether the cargo is dry or wet at the port of loading. In such cases, the master of the ship can request to register the humidity and temperature of the cargo in the quality certificate. One of the positive aspects of this work is to acquit the captain and crew of the ship against any claims and complaints. In this article, while paying attention to the important issues related to self-heating cargoes and other safety-oriented measures before and after loading, this type of temperature-sensitive cargoes, while referring to one of these claims and demands, to other precautionary measures The need is paid by the ship's captain and crew.
