The Ocean Liner Conference System
Chapter
Abstract
Previous chapters have dealt with different types of vessels and with chartering bulk ocean carriers. This chapter deals with those vessels that operate on a scheduled basis, between major ports, and carry assortments of relatively high-value cargoes tendered by a multitude of shippers. Usually the products are manufactured or processed, and they move by number or count. These cargoes are sometimes called break-bulk or general cargo. Traditionally, they were handled and stowed on a piece-by-piece basis by stevedores.
