Examples of Cargo in the following topics:
-
Distribution Modes
- Air cargo, commonly known as air freight, is collected by firms from shippers and delivered to customers.
- Aircraft were first used for carrying mail as cargo in 1911.
- There are many commercial aircraft suitable for carrying cargo such as the Boeing 747 and the bigger An-124, which was purposely built for easy conversion into a cargo aircraft.
- Many firms, such as Parcelforce, FedEx, R+L Carriers, and U-Haul, transport all types of cargo by road.
- Cargo net being used to unload sacks from a ship at Haikou New Port, Haikou City, Hainan, China.
-
Shipping and Transportation
- Shipping is a physical process of transporting commodities and merchandise goods and cargo, by land, air, and sea.
- Shipping is a physical process of transporting commodities, merchandise goods, and cargo, by land, air, and sea.
- Trucks and trains make deliveries to sea ports and air ports where cargo is moved in bulk.
- For example, at CIF Los Angeles, the exporter pays the ocean shipping/air freight costs to Los Angeles including the insurance of cargo.
- Harbour cranes unloading cargo from a container ship at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port, Navi Mumbai, India
-
The Middle Passage
- While the treatment of slaves on the Middle Passage varied by ship and voyage, it was often horrific because captive Africans were considered less than human: they were cargo or goods, to be transported as cheaply and quickly as possible for trade.
- When bad weather further inconvenienced the voyage, the Zong's captain decided to drown the slave cargo at sea, so the owners could collect insurance on the cargo.
- Over a hundred slaves were drowned at sea, fueling the British abolitionist movement and becoming a major legal battle when the insurance company refused compensation for the loss of the slave cargo.
- As demonstrated in the Zong Affair, slave cargos were at the mercy of ship captains as well as unpredictable complications with the sea voyage.
- Some slave cargoes revolted at once and attempted to take over the ship and/or murder crew members.
-
Complete Submersion
- If the airship weighed 108,000 kg, how much cargo could it carry?
- To find the cargo capacity of the airship, we subtract the weight of the airship from the buoyancy force:
- $F_\mathrm{cargo} = F_B - mg = 2.21\times 10^6 \,\mathrm{N} - 1.08\times10^5\,\mathrm{kg}\times 9.81\,\mathrm{\frac{m}{s^2}} = 1.15\times 10^6 \,\mathrm{N}$
-
The Boston Tea Party
- By early December, the Philadelphia consignees had resigned and the tea ship returned to England with its cargo following a confrontation with the ship's captain.
- British law required the Dartmouth to unload and pay the duties within 20 days, or customs officials could confiscate the cargo.
- "Americans throwing Cargoes of the Tea Ships into the River, at Boston"
-
Organized Crime
- Organized crime groups often victimize businesses through the use of extortion or theft and fraud activities like hijacking cargo trucks, robbing goods, committing bankruptcy fraud, insurance fraud, or stock fraud.
-
Flotation
- For example, an unloaded ship has a lower density, and less of it is submerged compared with the same ship loaded with cargo .
- For instance, a steel ship is actually mostly filled with air (think of the corridors, cargo holds, etc.), so its average density is between that of air and steel.
-
Technology and New Infectious Agents
- Ships and other cargo carriers often harbor unintended 'passengers' that can spread diseases to faraway destinations.
-
A Brief Definition of Brand
- Factories branded their logo or insignia on the barrels used and the logo of the companies to which the cargo was being shipped.
-
Pinckney's Treaty
- New Orleans was reopened, and Americans could transfer goods without paying cargo fees (right of deposit) when transferring goods from one ship to another.
