Abstract
Since that goods are transported, their chocking and stowing is very often done by improvisation, successfully or disastrously. When the disaster appears in comics it is always a source of an enormous amusement, when it appears in road or maritime accidents it is most of the time a source of death or severe damages. The loss of a container loaded with drums filled with lindane some months ago in the Atlantic sufficiently showed that stowing and chocking cannot be subject of improvisation.
