🔍 Key Concepts

• Dunnage as it relates to cargo stowage and protection • How cargo is kept dry, stable, and protected from damage in a hold • Difference between cargo protection vs. ship structure support

💭 Think About

• Think about where dunnage is placed in relation to the cargo and what problem it is intended to solve first. • Which option describes a function that would be needed for almost every general cargo, regardless of ship size or condition? • Ask yourself: is dunnage mainly for the ship’s safety/structure, or for the cargo’s condition during the voyage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice focuses on protecting cargo from moisture, sweat, and damage. • Eliminate answers that mainly involve ballast or ship structural support, which are usually handled by other systems or equipment. • Check which option would most logically apply in a standard cargo hold where cargo needs spacing for air circulation and water runoff.
