5.3.3.7   Mixed cargo with barrels, example 7

 
Stowage of these pails between cartons must be considered a packing deficiency. The position of the rear and front pails indicates that not inconsiderable gaps have been left.

It is advisable to use hardboard, boards or similar materials as additional protection and to separate them from other cargoes.
