Re-Stows

Re-stows, in the realm of logistics, refer to the process of rearranging or reorganizing cargo within a shipping container or storage area to optimize space utilization, ensure stability, and enhance the overall efficiency of cargo handling and transportation. This practice of re-stowing cargo aims to make the most efficient use of available space. It involves rearranging items to maximize the use of container or storage area volume, reducing wasted space and the need for additional containers. 

Benefits of Re-Stows 

In shipping, re-stows can involve redistributing cargo weight to achieve proper load balance within a vessel. This helps ensure the stability of the ship during transit and minimizes the risk of accidents. Re-stows may involve consolidating smaller items into larger containers or grouping related products together for easier handling and retrieval. This can streamline the logistics process and reduce handling costs.
