What this Learner’s Guide is about
This Learner’s Guide is about the skills and knowledge required to
process the receipt and delivery of containers and cargo in accordance
with workplace requirements including checking the
stacking/discharge list at commencement of a shift, assessing and
planning container/cargo consolidation, allocating stack positions,
identifying and checking containers/cargo, and checking and
completing required documentation.
The Elements of Competency from the unit TLIA407C Process receipt
and delivery of containers and cargo covered in this Learner’s Guide
are listed below.
Check stacking/discharge list at commencement of shift
Assess and plan container/cargo consolidation
Allocate stack positions
Identify and check containers/cargo
Check and complete documentation
This unit of competency is from the Transport and Logistics Training
Package (TLI07).

Planning your learning
It is important to plan your learning before you start because you may
already have some of the knowledge and skills that are covered in this
Learner’s Guide. This might be because:
• you have been working in the industry for some time,
and/or
• you have already completed training in this area.
Together with your supervisor or trainer use the checklists on the
following pages to help you plan your study program. Your answers to
the questions in the checklist will help you work out which sections of
this Learner’s Guide you need to complete.
This Learner’s Guide is written with the idea that learning is made
more relevant when you, the learner, are actually working in the
industry. This means that you will have people within the enterprise
who can show you things, discuss how things are done and answer any
questions you have. Also you can practise what you learn and see how
what you learn is applied in the enterprise.
If you are working through this Learner’s Guide and have not yet found
a job in the industry, you will need to talk to your trainer about doing
work experience or working and learning in some sort of simulated
workplace.

commencement of shift
Are you able to: Yes No

1. check stacking/discharge lists against
container/cargo documentation and
operational order of work, taking into
account both ship and shore operations?
2. update stacking discharge lists continually
to reflect the correct location of containers
and cargo?
Section 2: Assess and plan container/cargo

consolidation

1. assess yard or terminal plans and where
appropriate plan to consolidate
container/cargo within the yard or
terminal?
2. prepare consolidation plans to ensure
efficiency of operations and efficient use of
available yard/terminal space?
3. determine and record final yard/terminal
positions from consolidation plans?
Section 3: Allocate stack positions

1. allocate stack positions based on the
nature of the container/cargo concerned
and the requirements of yard/terminal
operations?
2. communicate stacking plan to the relevant
personnel in accordance with workplace
procedures?

Section 4: Identify and check containers/cargo

1. identify and check containers/cargo at the
point of entry to the yard and prior to
stacking?
2. confirm that there is agreement between
numbers and marks on container/cargo and
shipping documentation?
3. inspect cargo/containers and take
appropriate action to report identified
damage or defects in accordance with
workplace procedures?
4. ensure stacking follows stacking plans and
facilitates efficient movement within the
yard?
Section 5: Check and complete documentation

1. check relevant documents prior to
performing completion procedures
ensuring compliance with workplace
procedures and regulatory requirements?

How you will be assessed
Assessment of this Unit of Competency will include observation of real
or simulated work processes using workplace procedures and
questioning on underpinning knowledge and skills. It must be
demonstrated in an actual or simulated work situation under
supervision.
You will be required to:

• plan for stacking and discharge of containers and cargo in
an efficient manner
• identify container damage and incorrectly labelled
containers/cargo by visual inspection and report these
according to your workplace procedures
• complete all required documents including reports of
damaged containers/cargo, incorrectly labelled
cargo/containers, stacking plans.


Section 1
Stacking and discharging

efficiently

Section outline
Areas covered in this section

Stacking and discharging containers and cargo including:
− planning for stacking and discharging
− reading stack position plans
− completing required documents such as stacking and consolidation
plans
− communicating stack positions to others in the workplace

How do you plan for stacking and discharging?

Handling containers and cargo requires planning and a
generous dose of problem solving. The aim of this process is
to make sure that containers and cargo are stacked so that
they do not have to be moved repeatedly. Regulations apply
to this area and these must be complied with.
Communicating (in writing) where cargo is being held or
stored is vital to save hours spent searching for particular
containers or cargo. The majority of yards and terminals are
large and can hold upwards of 500 containers.
A number of variables can apply to the cargo and containers
that you are moving. These might include:
• the cargo contains dangerous or hazardous goods
• the container is temperature controlled (reefer unit)
• how long cargo or container will remain in yard or depot
before being discharged
• the size of the container
• requirements for workplace, Customs, AQIS or other
government authorities’ clearance
• final destination of cargo/container.
Cargo/container movement is critical and should be traceable
at all stages of its movement. The condition of the container
and the cargo is also monitored and recorded so that if
damage or pilfering does occur, the source or step in the
supply chain where this occurred can be identified. The
checking and monitoring that you are required to carry out
will ensure that your company (or you) are not blamed for
damage or loss that you did not cause.

What are the regulations on stacking containers

and cargo?
A number of pieces of legislation apply to how containers and cargo
are stacked.
These include:
• Marine Orders.
• Dangerous Goods Act.
• Customs Act, CMR, legislation related to restricted or
quarantine controlled goods.
• Legislation related to air cargo and implemented by
Department of Transport and Regional Services.
• Occupational Health and Safety legislation.
Marine Orders (Part 44) detail the regulations on containers. The main
elements of this legislation that have an impact on your role include
that containers for transporting goods or cargo must:
• be approved
• have a Safety Approval Plate permanently affixed to the
container in a visible location
• be in good/safe condition
• have a date stamp indicating its original examination and
next re-‐examination date or marked ‘ACEP’ (Approved
Continuous Examination Program)
• comply with colour code given in these orders (9.3.6) and
in English language or Arabic figures (the style used in
Australia for numbers such as 23578)
• be labelled with maximum operating gross (weight that
can be loaded in container).
It is a penal provision (offence that can result in a jail
sentence) to load or unload containers that do not meet these
requirements unless a Marine Surveyor permits the
loading/unloading under given conditions. (Picture of Safety
Approval Plate)
A container on a ship must not be loaded with a mass
exceeding the allowable stacking mass for 1.8g indicated on
the Safety Approval Plate of the container.

Further details of these regulations can be found by accessing
the following site:
http://www.amsa.gov.au/SD/MO/MO_main/MO44.pdf
Dangerous goods legislation provides for yards and terminals
to be licensed storage areas unless the holding time for the
goods is less than three days (Source: Dept of Minerals and
Petroleum resources (WA) Dangerous Goods Safety at:
http://www.dme.wa.gov.au/prodserv/pub/pdfs/gns314rev6.pd
f)
Other state/territory legislation should be checked to ensure
compliance with relevant legislation.
Conditions of storage in transit (for WA) include, as a guide
ONLY:
• storage areas to be exclusive to dangerous goods and
marked as a ‘Transit Storage’ area with appropriate
HAZCHEM signage
• containers stacked two high and two deep as a maximum
• no more than 25 tonnes stored in one stack and 200
tonnes in total
• segregated from next stack by at least 5 metres
• stacks to be accessible from all sides
• transit area to be more than 15 metres from other storage
areas and at least 3 metres from boundaries
• each class of dangerous goods to be stacked in its own
stacks according to ADG Code
• make signage of contents visible
• allow for collection of any leaked material
• provide bunding to 110% of largest container
• removed from sources of ignition
• secure from unauthorised entry
• have prescribed fire protection
• have documented manifest available.

While you may not have to know every detail of these pieces of
legislation, you should be aware of the requirements for safe storage
of containers and apply this to your work. If in doubt, seek help and
ask your trainer, OHS representatives or your trainer.

The first activity asks you to look at relevant legislation and regulation
and how these apply to your work.

Activity 1: Impact of legislation and regulations
Ask your trainer or supervisor to take you on a tour of the yard or

terminal. Make a sketch map of the area or if one already exists,
use this, and mark on the map:
• specialised storage areas such as for dangerous goods, open or
unsealed containers, valuable cargo, etc
• access lanes
• areas where you are required to be authorised to enter and work
• parking areas and areas where non-specialised transport
(ordinary vehicles) cannot enter
• safety equipment such as fire hoses, alarms, etc
• non-smoking and smoking areas
• any other specialised area or equipment required under
legislation or regulations.
Where specialised facilities, equipment or storage areas are

located ask why these are located and set up as they are.
There is feedback on this activity at the back of this Learner’s

Guide.

What’s the logical way to stack containers?
Stacking of containers is an exercise in logic, problem solving and
‘juggling’. Your aim is to:
• comply with any regulations about stacking containers and
cargo (e.g. information on dangerous goods in previous
section)
• minimise having to move containers repeatedly
• make best use of the space available.
One factor in this is that containers can be different sizes – 20 feet, 24
feet, 30 feet, 40 feet, 45 feet, 48 feet, 53 feet and 60 feet.
Containers have a safe working limit that varies according to size.
Sample pictures of containers can be found at National Rail’s web site
at: www.nationalrail.com.au/doing_business/containers.html -‐ thanks
to Pacific National for use of these images.
A useful place to start thinking is to consider a car park. Cars are not
stacked in the same way as containers. They are in ‘one layer’. Spaces
can be allocated according to given criteria, some of which will be
similar to container stacking, such as:
• ease of entry and exit
• fees paid
• preferences for regular customers
• available spaces
• security issues.
For instance, in a car park, for a fee your car can be parked where
attendants can monitor the vehicle at all times to prevent theft or
damage from other vehicles. Occasional or short-‐term parking could
be at the highest level of the car park, leaving lower levels for reserved
or regular customers. In this way, valued customers can get into and
out of the car park more quickly. Or, short-‐term parkers can use the
lower levels so that in a busy car park, an accurate count can be made
of available spaces.
The next activity uses the example of a car park as a learning tool for
practising logical stacking.

Activity 2: Car park design
Design a car park using the information given on fee structures,

available spaces and known information about customers using the
car park.
• the car park has six floors
• each floor can hold 100 cars
• the car park is open 24 hours a day, every day
• regular customers pay $300 per month for unlimited parking
(can come in and out to/from a reserved spot any time)
• occasional or short term parking is charged at $5 per hour
• daily rate (if arrive before 8.30 am and leave after 5.00 pm) is
$20 per day
• the car park owner would rather build up regular customers than
attract short term or daily parking (if all regulars, less staff
needed to staff the car park)
• there are 200 regular customers, an average of 200 daily
parkers and about 300 short term parkers per day (not all stay
for the whole day)
• the car park usually fills up to capacity by 10.00 am and stays
full or has very little available space until 5.30 pm.
• car park attendants are located on the first floor (exit and entry
also here)
• the car park attendants monitor the reserved or regular parking
spots by doing on foot patrols
• a lift provides access to each floor.
Decide which floor you will put each of the main types of car
parkers and justify your answer.

Guide.

The complexity involved in stacking of containers increases where a

second layer can be added. For instance, dangerous goods can be
stacked ‘two containers high and two containers deep’. The usual
practice is to stack containers three high. Containers at the bottom of
such stacks are difficult to move as this involves moving the two above
that container.
Careful planing is therefore needed to stack containers even two high.
Consideration needs to be given to:

• when the bottom containers are required
• stacking the ‘soon to be moved’ containers at the top of
the stack.
Sometimes it will be impossible to determine exactly when a
container will be discharged from the yard or terminal and this
must be allowed for in planning the stacking.
In the next activity, you are asked to practice simple stacking
operations.


Activity 3: ‘Two high’ stacking
The list below provides information on when containers are

required for discharge. Assume for this exercise that there are no
containers in the yard and that this load is from one ship. No other
containers will be required to be stacked during the time that these
containers are in the yard. Your task is to organise these into a
logical stacking arrangement for ease of removal.
Container Discharge Container Discharge

D 24/4 at 7.00 pm I 25/4 at 1.00 pm
E 25/4 at 11.00 am J 26/4 at 10.00 am
The containers are to be stacked as follows (to allow container

forklift to pick up from side):
TOP LAYER
BOTOM LAYER

Guide.

The reality of stacking operations is much more complex than the
example given in the activity. As containers are being discharged,
other containers are being brought in from another load and some
containers may be delayed for a variety of reasons including:
• container is damaged and an inspection and report is
required
• clearance has not been gained because of:
− problem with Customs or AQIS or other relevant authority
− incorrect documentation
− some other human error.
In the next activity you are required to generate a movement
schedule for containers to match the scenario given.


Activity 4: Movement schedules for containers
The list below provides information on when containers are

required or due at a dock to be unloaded into the yard and details
of discharge. Assume for this exercise that there are no containers
in the yard at the start of the exercise. Your task is to list
movements that will be required for each day (assuming a 6.00 am
start) and a stacking order. Try to minimise movements of
containers. The challenge is to come up with a better schedule
than the suggested answer given in the section ‘feedback on
activities’.

Guide.

The activities provide practice at the ‘theory’ of stacking efficiently and
effectively. Nothing can replace actual practice at the ‘real thing’.
When planning the stacking, remember that you are trying to make
everyone’s job easier by:
• making a logical allocation for each container
• using available space
• complying with any regulations
• recording where containers are located.
The last point is very important. You may have a great way to stack
containers but if no one else can follow where you have put a specific
container, then the result can be chaos, lost time, lost containers.
The next activity gets you working with real containers in your
workplace.

Activity 5: Practicing stacking
Arrange with your trainer and supervisor to work with the person
who is currently responsible for stacking operations. As you work
with this person, try to answer the following questions:
• when is the stacking plan revised?
• what strategies, processes are used to get the stacking plan as
efficient as possible?
• what documents are used to develop the stacking plan?
• how is the stacking plan recorded?
• how is the stacking plan communicated to others in the
workplace?
• what problems can arise in stacking, how are these caused,
what can be done to prevent these problems?

Guide.


Section 2
Checking containers and cargo

Section outline
Areas covered in this section

Checking containers and cargo including:
− checking for damaged containers
− checking seals
− checking markings
Completing required documents

How do you make sure that the container is ‘as

it should be’?
What needs to be checked on a container?
When you are receiving containers or cargo off a ship or a plane, there
are a number of things you have to check:
• is the container/cargo damaged in any way?
• do the containers/cargo match the manifest or documents
relating to the identity of the container/cargo?
• have the contents been tampered with or seals broken?
• does the container have a (current and correct) Safety
Approval Plate?
The container and your role are part of a supply chain. The diagram on
the next page shows the steps in a typical supply chain for goods
imported from an overseas supplier. The shaded box indicates your
role in this supply chain.
At you can see from the number of steps in the supply chain between
the supplier and the eventual end user or customer, many people
handle the goods or the container in which they are being transported.
At any stage of the supply chain, the container could be:
• opened and goods removed (pilfering, theft)
• damaged and cause damage or spoilage to contents of
container
• seals removed and articles added to the container
(including contraband such as drugs, other prohibited
imports).
In each case, you will need to report and document anything that is
out of the ordinary or not right about the container. Activity 6 that
follows the diagram, asks you to identify how you report such
situations and what documents you would have to fill out. These
might include:
• workplace documents
• Customs or AQIS forms
• police report
• insurance report or claim.


Careful checking and reporting is important so that your company or
you are not held responsible for damage or tampering that occurred
elsewhere. In some companies, a Polaroid camera is made available to
record damage or broken seals.

Shaded and bold framed box indicates your probable role. You may
also be involved in other parts of the supply chain, depending on your
workplace and its operations.

Activity 6: Reporting requirements
Talk to your trainer, supervisor and others in your workplace and

discuss reporting requirements including:
• What is reported (broken seals, damaged containers, spoilt
cargo, etc)?
• What forms are used to make required reports?
• Where these forms are passed on to and filing requirements?
• Whether a photograph is required as part of reporting process?
• When police report is required?
• How soon report is made after identifying problem with
containers?
• Any other requirements for reporting?

Guide.

A variety of systems are used to identify containers. Whatever system
is in place, you will receive a document(s) that identifies the containers
that are being received. The documents will detail:
• what is in the container
• any dangerous goods loaded in the container (with
HAZCHEM sticker clearly displayed on outside and/or
dangerous Goods label)
• origin of container and cargo
• identity markings on each container received.
If the container’s markings and the document do not match, you
should also report this according to workplace procedures. Failure to
identify such problems and report them may cause two problems
where an error has been made and two containers are swapped:
• a problem of your company having a container which is
not the required container
• another company having the container you are supposed
to have and which is not the container that company is
supposed to have.


Activity 7: Wrong container or wrong place?
Talk to your trainer, supervisor and others in your workplace and

discuss reporting requirements where the container’s markings do
not match the documents that identify the container. Find out:
• What the process is for reporting this type of problem?
• What forms are used to make required reports?
• Where these forms are passed on to and filing requirements?
• Whether a photograph is required as part of reporting process?
• How soon report is made after identifying problem with
containers?

Feedback on
activities
The responses provided in this section are suggested responses.
Because every workplace is different, your responses may vary
according to your specific workplace procedures, the equipment
available and the nature of the business.

Activity 1: Impact of legislation and regulations
This activity is designed to make you aware of any regulations that

have an impact on your role and to find out why these areas are set
up as they are.
Activity 2: Car park design
The activity gets you to think about how to plan use of space where
the use is in one dimension (cards cannot be layered on top of
each other).
A suggested answer that is based on best access for most valued

customers is to:
• allocate the regular spots on the first and second floors
• arrange for patrols of first and second floors on a regular basis
and other floors at less frequent intervals
• place daily users on third and fourth floors
• place occasional users on top two floors.
Another possibility based on staff not having to move around as

much is to:
• allocate the regular spots on the third and fourth floors
• arrange for patrols of the third and fourth floors on a regular
basis and other floors at less frequent intervals. Staff on first
floor can monitor space available in short term spots allocated
here
• place daily users on fifth and sixth floors.
Note that there are many possible answers depending on how

important certain criteria are in allocating space. Similarly, stacking
configurations will vary. The best solution is still to minimise
movements.
Activity 3: ‘Two high’ stacking
This activity increases the complexity of stacking operations by

providing a second layer. Discuss your answers with your trainer.
The suggested answer attempts to minimise moving containers
twice.

TOP LAYER
B or C D H G E
BOTTOM LAYER
C or B F J I A
Note that multiple answers are possible. B and C are

interchangeable in this arrangement as they are required at the
same time. D is required before F, H before J, G before I and E
before A. This arrangement was developed by putting the last to
be moved containers at the bottom and then making sure that the
container on the top layer was required before the container
directly below it.
Activity 4: Movement schedules for containers
A suggested answer is as follows:
Date Time Containers requiring Positions

movement
23/4 3.00 pm A, B, C, D, E arrive in A at 3, B at 2, C at 6,

yard D at 4, E at 5
23/4 6.00 pm A, B discharged from -

2 and 3
24/4 7.00 pm D discharged from 4 -
25/4 8.00 am F, G, H, I, J arrive in F at 3, G at 2, H at 1,

yard I at 9, J at 8
25/4 11.00 G, H, E discharged -

am
25/4 7.00 pm F discharged -
26/4 1.00 pm K, L, M, N, O arrive at K at 3, L at 2, M at 1,

yard N at 5, O at 4
26/4 3.00 pm M, N, O discharged -
26/4 8.00 pm I, J, K, L discharged -

This solution allows for only two movements per container – at

arrival and when discharged. Making diagrams of each step
assists in this process as below:
23/4 at 3 pm 23/4 at 6 pm
D D
B E E
A C C
24/4 at 7 pm 25/4 at 8 am
E G E J

Activity 5: Practising stacking
Discuss your responses with your trainer and supervisor and the
person currently performing this role.
Activity 6: Reporting requirements
Your trainer and supervisor will be able to check that you have
correctly identified the reporting requirements in your workplace
and what you are specifically required to check.
Activity 7: Wrong container or wrong place?
Your trainer and supervisor will be able to check that you have
correctly identified the reporting requirements in your workplace
and what you are specifically required to check.
