Popis: [Abstract] The stowage plan and the securing arrangement of non-standardized cargo are some of the most important aspects in terms of cargo safety and economic costs. For this reason, the optimization of this operation is crucial and a daily challenge for securing planners trying to fulfill both requirements. In the present paper, a new methodological optimization is proposed presenting novel mathematical models and new 3D maps useful for the people in charge of stowage and securing arrangement. For this goal, the materials followed were the Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing (CSS) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) because many ships’ Cargo Securing Manuals refer to this international standard. Using an initial case study and making use of response surface techniques of design of experiments (DOE), multiple numerical simulations were performed to obtain novel mathematical models, revealing a high precision. Moreover, new 3D maps were presented and are very interesting tools due to their ease of understanding. The obtained results were compared with other simulations carried out where different variables were employed. The presented models of this methodology can predict the best securing arrangement to fulfill the balance forces in any stowage position (vertical and longitudinal) using the minimum securing devices and keeping the standards of safety. These methodological tools offer valuable advice to the shipping industry with responsibilities involved in the securing design of non-standardized cargo items.
