Info

Natural rubber Wallenius Wilhelmsen transports significant volumes of natural rubber. Though not extremely heavy, high or bulky, this sensitive cargo requires special handling procedures. Through years of practical experience, Wallenius Wilhelmsen has learned about the unique characteristics of natural rubber, especially its sensitivity to moisture. Due to this sensitivity, this type of cargo is always loaded and stored under cover. Wallenius Wilhelmsen has developed secure handling procedures to ensure that natural rubber retains its key properties and characteristics necessary for the onward manufacture into finished products.
Handling and stowage Wallenius Wilhelmsen handles consignments of natural rubber that are packed in steel or wooden crates or shrink-wrapped on wooden pallets, by using trucks or road trailers to transport the pallets or crates on board. Small forklifts are then used to lift and stow the cargo. Shrink-wrapped units and wooden crates are carefully stacked, three high, below deck. When stacked three high, shrink-wrapped units may be staggered. Strong plywood boards are placed between the layers to provide extra support. Metal crates may be stacked four high and cardboard is placed between the layers. Sturdy lashings secure the cargo, and corner protectors prevent damage to the edges. To prevent damage to cargo, the dew point is constantly measured below deck and proper ventilation facilitates the prevention of excess humidity. Static Cargo 23
