it seems you'd want your container near the bottom of the stack and closest to the bridge (near the midline of the ship). They should charge different amounts for container placement. If your container is at the top corners near the bow of the ship you should have to pay the least amount for insurance/shipping since you're taking the most risk.
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoI'm assuming weight factors heavily into loading arrangement, and they probably mostly want to avoid other factors complicating how they stack containers aboard.
- Ekaros 6y agoLoading a container ship is massive puzzle. The weight is one thing, but other one is that the operation really isn't point to point, but series. So starting from China empty(probably not) the ship is filled and then it visits multiple ports. And neither the ship or the ports want to waste time to move containers out and back in so containers going to later ports have to be below containers going to earlier ports. And containers travelling to the later ports can also be added on the way.
