BUNDLING

This is the assembly of pieces of cargo, secured into one manageable unit.

This is relevant to items such as Structural Steel, Handrails, Stairways etc. Whilst this is a very flexible description, a rule of thumb is to present cargo at a size easily handled by a large (20 ton) fork lift truck. BUNKERS
