Numerous benefits resulting from using freight container are negated if its contents are damaged in transit; filling equipment and techniques together with preassembly methods are as important in this application as type of restraint fittings used; cumulative motion at sea (movement in four directions), some types of container handling equipment and ascent or descent of loading ramps by container carrying vehicles; recent trials indicate significant relationship between container size, length of journey, and damage incidence unless proper precautions are taken in stowage.
