PART 1. EVALUATE
What are the list involved involve in inspection of cargo hold.
The list involved involve in inspection of cargo hold are:
 General cleanliness (No Rust or loose rust).
 Spar ceiling.
 Tween Deck draining holes.
 Bilge system (Bilge well, strum box & non-return valve).
 Sounding Pipes (Bilge & Double Bottom Tanks).
 Air Vent. Pipes.
 Electric cables, Lighting and connections.
 General condition of side shell, bulkheads, frames and beams.
 Double Bottom Tanks manholes
 Ventilation ducts.
 Fire detection and fixed fire extinguishing systems.
 Hatch cover, check for water tightness (any damaged rubber must be changed) (grease all moving
parts including wheels, hinges and cleats).
 Fixed hold ladders (Repair as necessary or place temporary ladders).
 Hold manholes on the weather deck.

What is the purpose of fitting or spar ceilings in the cargo hold?


The purpose of fitting or spar ceilings in the cargo hold is to fixed the frames in the cargo hold to keep cargo
away from the ship's sides; this promotes ventilation and prevents cargo damage by condensation and
chafing and to prevent packages of cargo from damage by moisture which may collect on the side of the
ship.

Explain the purpose of using dunnage on the unitized cargo


the purpose of using dunnage on the unitized cargo is to protect and goods and their packaging from
moisture contamination and mechanical damage and this are the dunnage may serve the following
purposes, according to the nature of cargo carried: first, to protect it from contact with water from the
bilges from other cargo, form the ship’s side or from the double bottom tanks. Next, to protect it moisture
or sweat, which condenses on the ship’s side, frames, bulkheads, etc. and runs down into the bilges.
Furthermore, to protect from contact with condensed moisture, which is collected and retained on the side
stringers, bulkhead brackets etc. Moreover, to provide air courses for the heated moisture laden air, to
travel to the sides and bulkheads along which it ascends towards the up takes, etc. Also, to prevent chafe, as
well as to chock off and secure cargo by filling in the broken stowage. Then, to evenly spread the
compression load of deep stowage. Next, to provide working levels and protection for the cargo on which
labor can operate and serve as a form of separation. And lastly, to provide access for cooled air round or
through the cargo for temperature-controlled requirements. Overall, we can say that the main purpose of
dunnage is to provide ventilation and drainage for cargo thus protecting it from loss or damage by ship's
sweat.

What is the purpose of sounding pipes and strum box in the cargo hold bilges?
The purpose of sounding pipes in the cargo hold bilges is to measure the quantity of fluid in a tank or a hold
bilge. The pipe allows a tape or sounding rod to pass through to the bottom of a tank or hold. Deck sounding
pipes pass through the weather deck and are fitted with screw-down caps. While strum box purpose is to
perforated strum box fitting of a bilge suction line prevents cargo residues to enter the bilge line.

What should be done in order to prevent any residues or debris that could damage the suction of bilges?
And how?
The bilge suction line in the hold bilge is normally fitted with a perforated strum box which prevents cargo
debris from entering the bilge line. The strum box should be thoroughly cleaned after each cargo discharge
and if possible, dismantled and checked for damage or corrosion.

PART 2. EXTEND
Is it necessary to ALWAYS clean the cargo hold bilges? Why?
Yes, the cargo hold bilges must be cleaned. Delays, off-hire, and charter party conflicts may arise when
cargo holds are offered for bulk loading and are not properly clean for the intended cargo. Inadequate
cleaning may also result in cargo contamination and infestation, leading to cargo damage claims from cargo
receivers. Furthermore, after conveying bulk goods, the holds must always be cleaned before any washing
attempts are performed. This reduces the likelihood of undesired cargo residues building in hold bilges and
impeding the operation of pumping out the washing water. Inadequate cleaning, on the other hand, might
result in cargo contamination, which can lead to cargo damage claims from receivers. If cement is polluted
with residues, for example, it loses its binding power, salt becomes liquid, and sugar might ferment. The
failure of the hold might be caused by a single sliver of coal left behind. Overall, we must constantly keep

the cargo hold bilges clean and examined in order to prevent contamination and other cargo-related issues.
