Broken stowage

shipping container at sea
Definition

"broken stowage" refers to the unused space within a container or cargo hold that occurs when cargo does not fully utilize the available storage capacity. It can happen due to irregularly shaped cargo, inefficient stacking, or empty spaces left between packages or containers. Broken stowage results in reduced cargo carrying capacity, leading to increased transportation costs and inefficiencies.
