Depending on its temperature, air can absorb different quantities of water vapor until it is saturated (100% relative humidity). Absolute humidity (moisture content) is the quantity of water actually present in the air and is measured in grams per cubic meter (g/m<sup>2</sup>). Relative humidity expresses as a percentage the quantity of water vapor the air has at a specific temperature, relative to its saturation content. If, for instance, air at 20°C has an absolute humidity of 12.1 it will have a relative humidity of 70%. If air has reached its saturation content at 20°C, it has absorbed 17.3 g/m<sup>3</sup> of water. |

Depending upon the shape and weight of the package contents, the shrink material used should be PE or plasticized PVC film of a thickness of 0.01 to 0.2 mm, with PE films being particularly suitable for heavy items. The film is heated from the outside in a shrink-wrap oven or with hand-held heat gun, thus releasing the captive tension in the file. Shrink films are produced in either mono-axial (in a single direction) or bi-axial (in two directions) orientation. As the film cools down, it shrinks around the package contents, applying a very low pressure per unit area. |

The size of dimensions of the unit load can vary according to requirements and to the means of transport and packaging container available. To optimize the cargo handling, transport and storage processes, standardization of unit loads is desirable. The most common unit loads are pallets and components with bases that resemble pallets, such as pallet boxes, IBC's, etc. the most important properties of a unit load are that is can be loaded to ensure a tight fit, its modularity and its stability, the last of which ensures that is can be stowed safely and will not be damaged by load securing measures. | ||

Terms
A
A1 and A2 | A1 shall mean the activity value of special form radioactive material that is listed in Table 2 or derived in Section IV and is used to determine the activity limits for the requirements of these Regulations. A2 shall mean the activity value of radioactive material, other than special form radioactive material, that is listed in Table 2 or derived in Section IV and is used to determine the activity limits for the requirements of these Regulations. |
Absorption |
Refers to the taking up of gases of vapors by liquids and/or solids where the gas or vapor fully penetrates the liquid of solid (adsorption is limited to the surface) |
Acceleration of shipment |
Negative and positive accelerations are dynamic, mechanical stresses which occur in two main types during the transportation of goods:
Regular acceleration forces primarily occur in maritime transport. Acceleration of up to one g (g=9.81[m/s2])and, in extreme cases, even more, may occur due to rolling and pitching in rough seas. Such regular acceleration forces have an impact on the effort involved in load securing. |
Accompanied combined transport | Transport of a complete road vehicle, accompanied by the driver, using another mode of transport (for example ferry or train). |
Acid value | The acid value specifies how many milligrams of potassium hydroxide (KOH) are necessary to neutralize the free Fatty Acids in a single gram of fat. |
Across the grain | The cross-section that is the result of cutting a tree trunk perpendicular to its length. (As opposed to "with the grain"). |
Active behavior | Applies to goods that have an active influence on other goods and their environment. |
Actual carrier | A third party who performs the carriage completely or partly. |
Additives | Substances added to other substances in order to modify their properties in a particular manner or to improve processing. |
Adsorption | The uptake of gases, vapor or dissolved substances (this is limited to the surface of solid objects). |
Adsorption delay | Delayed take up of water vapor by the cargo. In the Container Handbook, this refers exclusively to water vapor and describes the fact that during the day the water vapor is given off by the cargo to the air in the container (desorption) faster than the cooling of the container air is introduces water vapor to the cargo (adsorption). The water vapor condenses on the walls of the container thus leading to damage. |
Adsorption isotherms | As used in the Container Handbook: Graphical representation of the uptake of water vapor by a substance at a specified temperature. For product information purposes, the sorption isotherms are usually taken for a temperature of 20˚C. |
Aerobe | (Greek: aer - air) Microorganisms that require atmospheric oxygen. |
Aerobic respiration | (Greek: aer - air) Metabolic process of goods of vegetable origin, during which glucose and atmospheric oxygen are consumed by respiration processes to form carbon dioxide, water vapor and heat. |
Aflatoxins | Short form of Aspergillus - flavus - toxin. A mycotoxin (mold toxin) that is produced by the fungus Aspergillus - flavus among others. |
A-frame | Frame shaped like the letter "A" used to transport sheet loads, similar to the type of frame used when transporting panes of glass. |
Agglomeration | Lump formation. |
Airbag | Airbags can be positioned in the gaps between the cargo in order to achieve a tight fit during loading. |
Air container | Container conforming to standards laid down for air transportation |
Aircraft | Passenger aircraft shall mean an aircraft that carries any person other than a crew member, a carrier’s employee in an official capacity, an authorized representative of an appropriate national authority, or a person accompanying a consignment or other cargo. |
Aircraft | Cargo Aircraft shall mean any aircraft, other than a passenger aircraft, that is carrying goods or property. |
Allelopathy | (Greek: allelon - mutual; pathe - influence) The mutual influence of goods of vegetable origin when stored together, caused as a result of gaseous metabolic products, for example, ethylene of carbon dioxide. |
American Rust Standards | Used to classify corrosion damage. The American Rust Standard is recognized worldwide and widely used. It is often used in reports produced by surveyors. |
Amorphous | Without shape, without a fixed form. |
Anaerobe | (Greek: an - without, and aer - air) A microorganism that survives without atmospheric oxygen. |
Anaerobic respiration | (Greek: an - without, and aer - air) Occurs with goods of vegetable origin if the permitted carbon dioxide content is exceeded. |
Animal diseases | Animal diseases are diseases which are caused by bacteria, viruses, protozoa or fungi and may be transmitted to animals and humans. |
Animal goods | Goods of animal origin. |
Anthrax | Notifiable febrile disease caused by the anthrax bacillus. |
Anthropogenic influence | Influence caused by human activity. |
Apparent density | Density of lumber including hollow space. |
Approval | Multilateral approval shall mean approval by the relevant competent authority of the country of origin of the design or shipment, as applicable, and also, where the consignment is to be transported through or into any other country, approval by the competent authority of that country. |
Unilateral approval shall mean an approval of a design that is required to be given by the competent authority of the country of origin of the design only. | |
Arrhenius equation | An equation describing the dependency of reaction speed on temperature. A simplified rule of thumb for transportation purposes is that when the temperature is lowered by 10˚C, degradation processes are reduced to between half and a third, i.e. the storage life can be doubled or even trebled by lowering the temperature by 10˚C. |
Articulated trailer | A motor vehicle coupled to a semi-trailer. |
Articulated train / double train | An articulated train is a combination of an articulated truck and one or more trailers, i.e. truck tractor plus semitrailer plus trailer. German road traffic licensing regulations (StVZO) forbids combinations of this type. Section 32a stated explicitly that no trailers are to be towed behind articulated trucks. |
Articulated truck | An articulated truck is a combination of a truck tractor and a semitrailer. |
Articulated vehicle | means any motor vehicle with a trailer having no front axle and so attached that part of the trailer is superimposed upon the motor vehicle and a substantial part of the mass of the trailer and its load is borne by the motor vehicle. Such a trailer shall be called a semi trailer. |
Athwartships stowage | Load stowed across the beam of the container of ship (as opposed to fore and aft stowage). In the context of load securing, it is of utmost importance whether a container is stowed athwartships or fore and aft on a ship. In the case of athwartships stowage, the greatest acceleration forces act on the actual container longitudinally rather than transversely. Load securing measures must then be taken with this in mind. |
ATP agreement | Agreement of the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs and on the Special Equipment to be used for such Carriage (Agreement on the Transport of Perishables); UN agreement for the cross-border transportation of foodstuffs. |
Autolysis | (Greek: autos - self; lucin - separation) Self-digestion. |
Autoxidation | Oxidation caused atmospheric oxygen and taking place at normal temperatures. |
B
Barge | a non-seagoing watercraft used on inland or protected coastal waters: |
Basket wagon | A rail wagon with a demountable subframe, fitted with devices for vertical handling, to allow the loading and unloading of semi-trailers or road vehicles. |
Baud | Unit of speed for data transfer; 1 baud = 1 bit/s. |
Bay | A row of containers running from one side of the ship to the other. To be distinguished from a hold. |
Bay plan | Plan for the stowage of containers, in which each bay on a vessel is represented in a cross-sectional plan of the ship from bow to stern. A bay plan shows all possible positions for stowage on the vessel. |
Bay-row-tier system | Numbering system for the arrangement of containers on a vessel. In this numbering system, the bay is specified first, then the container row, which runs the length of the ship, and finally the tier (vertical layer). |
Bay-tier-row system | Numbering system for the arrangement of containers on a vessel. In this numbering system, the bay is specified first, then the tier (vertical layer) and finally the container row, which runs the length of the ship. |
Beveling | If a board of lumber beam is used diagonally for load securing purposes in a container, the ends must be beveled to ensure a tight fit into the container, thus allowing forces to be transferred to the container. |
Big Bag | A removable internal liner, strong enough to be lifted and to carry bulk cargoes of different types. |
Bilge sump | Sump at the lowest point of the hold, where water can collect and be pumped off. |
Billets | Semi-finished products (steel products) with a square of rectangular cross-section, edge lengths of 50 to 125 mm, rounded edges and a minimum length of approximately 1000 mm. This are the used to produce for bars, wire rod and special profiles or for forged or drop-forged items. |
Bill of lading, bill of lading number | Consignment note issued by the consignor as part of ocean-going and inland transportation processes which regulates the legal relationships between the loader, the consignor and the receiver of the goods that are being transported.
This note may be confirmation from the consignor that the goods have been received for shipping (Received for Shipment B/L) or a confirmation that the goods have been put on board (On Board B/L, Shipped on Board B/L). This document also covers the duty of the consignor to deliver the goods to their port or destination and to hand the goods over to the legitimate owner of the bill of lading in return for the bill of lading. |
Bimodal semi-trailer (rail – road) | A road semi-trailer that can be converted into a rail wagon by the addition of rail bogies. |
Biotic activity | Refers to activities evident in products of vegetable or animal origin that during transportation exert an influence on the products themselves and/or on other animal or vegetable products. Biotic activity covers biochemical, microbial and other decomposition processes (e.g. allelopathy). |
Bird's mouth | A bird's mouth is formed when a very flat V-shape is cut into the end of a piece of wood. |
Bitter ends | The ends of rope after a change of direction of any kind. The ends are usually joined by means of a knot, wire cable clamps, turnbuckles, shackles etc. |
Black rot | Rot attack on fruit. Black rot can always occur if damage to the fruit extends as far as the flesh. This is then easily transferred from an infected piece of fruit to the other fruits. Black rot is a frequent type of chilling damage occurring in pineapples. |
Block stowage | A method of loading: in block stowage, the goods are stowed as a single block, without leaving space of the flow of air. Thus, air can only pass around the block itself. |
Block train | a number of permanently coupled railway wagons, normally running directly between two selected terminals or entities without shunting. |
Blowing | Bulging observed on the lids and bases of cans caused by the formation of gas after the sterilization process and ultimitely leading and bursting. Such bulging can be caused by high temperatures (see heat-induced blowing) or low temperatures (see cold-induced) erfolgen. |
Blue discoloration | Blue discoloration of wood caused by blue stain fungi. |
Blued steel scrap | A normal steel scrap can be refined by heat treatment (heating, quenching, tempering). It undergoes a structural change which gives it optimal properties in terms of hardness and elasticity. Heat treatment leaves an oxide layer on the surface of the steel which is a bleuish color (steel blue), hence the name. |
Botulism | Dangerous food poisoning caused by the bacterium clostridium botulinum occuring for instance in insufficiently sterilized preserved meat of vegetables. |
Box | Another (less formal) name for a shipping container. This is how they are often referred to in the industry. |
Box container | Alternative colloquial term for the standard ISO container. |
Bracing/bracing beams | Items used to secure general cargo loads. Bracing is usually made from squared lumber beams that are fitted between the load and the load-bearing sections of the container in order to take up the horizontal and vertical forces acting on the load.

Buffer stow | A so-called "buffer" is required when transporting a heavy load with a high mass and small surfaces for distributing the forces acting upon the object. Lumber beams are usually used for this purpose. For certain types of load, the effort involved in this load securing method can be reduced by using part of the load as a buffer. Round bars are a good example, as they are 1) capable of bearing high loads, and 2) suffer no damage as a result of being used as a buffer. For this method, a round bar is first loaded across the end wall of the container. This then acts as a buffer and, in the event of jolts during transport, cushions or distributes the forces evenly across the wall. Since the buffer is created by the way the cargo is loaded, this method is referred to as "buffer stow". |
