Problems carrying containers by non-container vessels
The crew of non-container vessels due to unfamiliarity with the transport of containers by non-container vessels, cause many problems in the transportation and safety of goods. Also, according to reports and studies, it has been determined that the carriage of goods by non-container vessels is not legitimate and the owners of container vessels should never allow the transport of containers by other vessels.
Reasons for problems in transporting goods
Another reason for the inefficiency of transporting containers by non-container vessels is the special and principled framework in cargo and container transport, which requires its own special knowledge and expertise, and not every type of ship can be used for this purpose.

The solution to this problem lies in the actions of the maritime community. Shipowners, cargo owners and shipping lines must follow all the relevant principles and rules to deal with this problem so that we no longer see chaos on shipping lines and services.
