On Deck

shipping container at sea
Definition

On Deck refers to the area of a vessel where cargo is stowed or stored on the deck, rather than being placed in the ship's cargo holds or below deck. Certain types of cargo, such as oversized or heavy items, may be loaded on deck due to their size or specific handling requirements.
