Cargo planning is done by the shore planner and most of the documentation is done by either load port or discharge port agents. Ship staff still has to verify these plans are in order, and they are complying with vessel’s stability and stress requirements. We are hereby explaining you the brief procedures for cargo planning and documentation After receipt of booking prospect, charterers (shore planner) will plan the stowage and pass on to load port agent prior arrival of the vessel at the load port.

Upon receipt of proposed stowage plan the agent at load port will arrange the cargo operation. After the vessel has completed loading, the agent will prepare the final stowage on the vessel and pass the same to the vessel, the charterer and the discharge port agent. The local agent will also prepare the Cargo manifest, dangerous cargo list and exception list. The master will receive the following document from the agent: Final Stowage plan Cargo manifest Dangerous cargo list Exception list (in case of any damage to cargo) Mate’s receipt, the bill of lading is generally issued by the charterer.
