ABSTRACT:
A method of distributing cargo for loading and discharging cargo spaces of unequal size based on information of the cargo volume to be loaded at each loading area and of its destination, or of an estimate of this factor which is gradually adjusted to actual values, consists in loading the same or a larger quantity of cargo in the largest cargo space or spaces as in any of the smaller cargo spaces, and placing during loading the portion of the cargo volume intended for each discharge berth in such a manner that the largest cargo spaces will contain the same or a larger quantity of cargo in this portion of the cargo volume than the smaller cargo spaces. If cargo is lacking to fill all the cargo spaces the loading is carried out in such a manner that the total cargo volume to be loaded in different cargo spaces is distributed among the cargo spaces having the nearest size, and loading and discharge is always carried out in the largest cargo spaces simultaneously with loading and discharging in one or more of the other cargo spaces.
