23、pected future innovations.This Code is designed to assist:.1 shipowners, charterers, operating companies and ships crews;.2 port industries, shippers and pre-packaging organizations, which are involved in preparation, loading, and stowing of timber deck cargoes; and.3 Administrations, manufacturers
24、and designers of ships and equipment associated with the carriage of timber deck cargoes and those developing cargo securing manuals.This Code is directed primarily at providing recommendations for the safe carriage of timber deck cargoes.Status of referencesThe references given in this consolidated

43、timber deck cargoes should enable a safe yet rational securing of the cargo so that it is satisfactorily prevented from shifting by collapsing, sliding or tipping in any direction, taking into account the acceleration forces the cargo may be subjected to throughout the voyage in the worst sea and we
44、ather conditions which may be expected.2.1.2 This chapter lists measures and factors that should be taken under consideration in order to achieve such level of cargo securing.2.1.3 Procedures should be established for the preparation of plans and instructions, including checklists as appropriate, fo
45、r key shipboard opera-tions.(5)Guidance is provided in annex A to assist the development of such checklists.2.2 Pre-loading operation2.2.1 Prior to loading the vessel, relevant cargo information,(4)as defined in chapter 4 of this Code, should be provided by the shipper, according to the custom of th

Ballast tanks should as far as practicable be either full or empty and ballast movement during loading operations should be avoided.2.2.5 Before timber deck cargo is loaded on any area of the weather deck:.1 hatch covers and other openings to spaces below that area should be secure
49、ly closed and battened down;.2 air pipes and ventilators should be effectively protected and check-valves or similar devices should be examined to ascer-tain their effectiveness against the entry of water;.3 objects which might obstruct cargo stowage on deck should be removed and safely secured in places appropriate for storage;.4 the condition of friction-enhancing arrangements, where fitted, should be checked;.5 accumulations of ice and snow on such area should be removed;.6 it is normally preferable to have all deck lashings, uprig
