If the ship is full and there isn’t enough space for additional cargo, or if it’s delayed and needs to stop loading early to stay on schedule, not all containers may be loaded. In some cases, a container may be overweight and doesn’t match the declared weight provided during booking or at port acceptance, which can lead to further complications. Additionally, when handling dangerous goods, it’s crucial to ensure compatibility with other hazardous materials already on board to prevent any safety risks or violations.
