The main objective of this portfolio is to supply clear and reasonably practicable information about general cargo ships, cargo operations, as well as special project cargo and to look into the advantages of having a tween deck. 

For Study purposes I am using pictures and documentations from the general cargo ship M/V Baltic Amelie and a few pictures from the Bulk cargo ship M/V Nathalie. Both ships operate under the Finish flag and trades between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. All pictures were taken by me during my time onboard while working with RABN on both of those ships. Therefore, this whole portfolio is based on my personal experience as well as on conversations and interviews with more experienced colleagues within the company. 

The idea of this research is to give specific understanding about General cargo ships. Not only the cargo operations itself, such as loading and discharging, but also to increase the knowledge of stowage plans and the process of preparing the cargo hold before loading. Furthermore, I will investigate special project cargo and how it differs from the normal cargo that the ship transports. One part of this research focuses on the tween deck and the advantage of having one on a general Cargo Ship.
