Transshipment of packaged cargo in the port "Chornomorsk"
Packaged or general cargo is any type of cargo transported in a separate package or container. Unlike work with bulk materials, when handling packaged cargo, it is important to ensure the safety not only of the product itself, but also of its container. Damage to the container or packaging during transportation is fraught with damage to the product, and in the case of toxic or explosive materials - there is a danger to people and material damage.
