🔍 Key Concepts
• Meaning of special cargo in cargo handling and stowage terminology
• Difference between special cargo, dangerous/hazardous cargo, and perishable cargo
• What type of cargo needs extra security versus what needs extra ventilation or refrigeration
💭 Think About
• Look at each option and ask: what kind of risk or issue is being described (safety hazard, theft, spoilage, gas emission, etc.)?
• Think about which category of cargo would be treated differently mainly because of its value and security concerns, rather than because of temperature or fumes.
• Match each choice to a more familiar category: which sounds like perishable cargo, which sounds like dangerous cargo, and which sounds like cargo that needs added protection from theft?
✅ Before You Answer
• Before choosing, decide which option describes security/handling requirements, not just stowage location or inspection for spoilage.
• Verify which options are really about safety hazards (like toxic gases) that would normally fall under dangerous goods rules.
• Confirm in your mind what word you’d associate with each answer: perishable, dangerous/hazardous, deck-stowed, or high‑value/secured.
