How Can a Ship’s Own Sweat Destroy Its Cargo?

How does a ship “sweat” onto its cargo? As ships move between climates, temperature differences can cause moisture in the air to condense on cold steel surfaces or directly onto cargo. This can lead to ship sweat or cargo sweat, damaging goods through caking, mould, rust, and corrosion. This video explains the science behind condensation, dew point, and how crews use ventilation to manage moisture inside cargo holds. ⚓ Casual Navigation Team 🛳️ Creative Director & Lead Scriptwriter: Precious Ezeifedi Narrator: Josef Boon Animator Director & Production Manager: Chelzea Aguilar Animators: Muhammad Fauzi Ardhi & Kaleb Silvanus Illustrator: Denn Mark Saba Editor Assistant & SFX: Ivelisse Suarez Thumbnail Designer: Gio Andrew Lañojan Follow Casual Navigation on our other platforms for more maritime content, clips, updates, and more: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/casualnavigationofficial TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@casualnavigationofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/casualnavigationofficial/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hwZNLWqnhPxdE9J0gZWaw Follow us and stay connected wherever you like to watch or listen! ⚓ SUPPORTED BY PLUS MEMBERS ⚓ https://patreon.com/casualnavigation Thank You to all Plus members on Patreon.
