What are preparation for unloading of PCC or Pure Car Carrier ?

Cargo handling on RO/RO ship

Though basically corresponding to cargo handling on PCCs, attention should be paid to the following points.

Slings suitable for vehicles to be loaded should be used with an anti-rolling rope secured to each corner.

When lifting the vehicle, the driver should stop the engine and pull back the hand brake completely before getting off the vehicle.

More than 50cm of space should be left around the key car. When loading the key car, special attention is paid so that it will not be in slings or workers.

The winch or crane operator should operate by following the directions given by the deck hand. He should not lower the vehicle on the deck in a rough manner such as swinging.
