Cargo Operations Sea Year Practice Exam

In a container stowage number, what do the last two digits represent?

Tier number Bay number Row number Stowage code

Correct Answer:

Tier number

Explanation:

In container stowage numbering, you locate a container using three positions: bay, row, and tier. The last two digits are the tier number, which shows the vertical level the container sits at within that bay and row. The earlier digits identify the bay and the row, while the two-digit tail is dedicated to the stack height. This compact tail allows up to 99 vertical levels and gives a quick way to read the container’s exact height in the stack.
