Tarpaulins: Guardians of Open-Air Storage Yards
Tarpaulins serve as the primary tool for protecting cargo in open-air terminal storage yards, effectively shielding goods from rain, moisture, dust, and sunlight to prevent dampness, mold, or deterioration. Thanks to their superior water-resistance, UV protection, and corrosion resistance—combined with operational techniques such as securing edges with sandbags or employing fitted-cover methods—these tarpaulins are capable of withstanding sudden adverse weather and the corrosive effects of sea breezes and salt spray. By safeguarding the integrity of the cargo, they constitute a pivotal measure in achieving the port's operational objective of "zero cargo loss."
