１. Air cargo
Packaging of air cargo
In order to safely deliver the cargo accepted from the customers to the final destination
airport, it is necessary for the customer to appropriately package the shipments.
For safe, prompt and reliable delivery, ANA cargo packaging guideline has been provided.
Though ANA is making evert efforts to enhance its transportation quality, due to safety
security reason, cooperation of endurable packaging for the air transport is kindlyrequired.

Air cargo packaging responsibility
There are 3 safety, "safety of aircraft", "safety of worker", and "safety of cargo", for airtransportation.
To secure safety, packaging plays an extremely important role The IATA
(The International Air Transport Association) regulations stipulates, "The shipper is
responsible for appropriate packaging of the cargo to ensure safe carriage and towithstand any incidents occurred under normal handling and transportation."(cf.: Tact rulebook 2.3.1.1, 2.3.2.1.d)

Cargo with inappropriate packaging may be requested to be re-packaged.
In case the damage is caused by inappropriate packaging, carrier's responsibility is
exempted from carriage conditions, as well as compensation claim may possibly berejected.

Impact of inappropriate packaging for air transportation①Collapse of cargo or leakage of contents may possibly damage other shipments orthe aircraft. In such cases, compensation for damage to other shipment and aircraft
repairment or cleaning expenses may possibly be claimed.

②Taking time for cargo loading, including build-up on aircraft pallet・container (ULD),
will affect operation of the scheduled flight.
③Unable to effectively utilize cargo space due to inefficient build-up, including stacking,on aircraft pallet・container (ULD). Consequently, loadable cargo volume on entire
aircraft will decrease, while booked shipments having offload risk,
as well as being a cause of freight cost increase.

１2. Air cargo flow
AcceptanceFor other than already-built cargo on aircraft pallet・container (ULD),
manual handling will be conducted at acceptance to confirm customer's
shipment is "Ready for Carriage".

Unloading from truck

Cargo acceptance check①Due to difference in height level when unloading cargo from truck withforklift, depending on loading method, freight handling may be difficult
risking the cargo to be damaged.
②For loose cargo built on skids in unviewable condition, it will consume
more handling time due to outer package and label, etc.
are required to be checked.
③Forklift entry is necessary to enable forklift handling.

2Build-up
Cargo accepted from the customers are to be built-up on same aircraft
pallet or container with other customers' to effectively utilize aircraft's cargospace.

Build-up(Pallet)

Build-up(Pallet / Use Forklift)

Build-up(Container)

Fix the cargo to pallet①For build-up of heavy cargo, forklift will be used. Forklift entry isnecessary to enable forklift handling.

②Build-up of loose cargo will be done manually.
③In case of built-up on pallets, net must be tightened to fix the cargo.
Cardboard box lacking strength may possibly have its corner crushed
or deformed.

Transfer to aircraft
ULDs will be transferred to shipside on towing vehicle for container or pallet dollies.

写真

ULDs will be carried out from the warehouse on dollies

写真Transfer to shipside①During transfer, cargo may be impacted with certain degree of shock by ditches,
pavement seam, or level difference around the aircraft parking spot.

Loading on aircraft
ULDs will be loaded on the aircraft using special vehicles (high lift loader, belt loader,etc.).

BULKへの搭載

Lift-up and lift-down of ULDs

Loading in BULK

①Cargo built-up on ULD will be lifted for loading.
②Cargo loaded in BULK together with MAIL and checked baggages may slightly
move depending on flight condition due to firm lashing being difficult.
③During the flight, aircraft may shake or tilt giving certain load to the cargo.

３．Request for cooperation regarding cardboard packaging
Due to efficient build-up is necessary utilizing the limited space, packaging with sufficientstrength and flat top surface is required assuming to be stacked.

【In case only cardboard is to be delivered for acceptance】①No damage on outer package of cardboard and sealed without gap
Appropriate②In case outer package is softened due to recycle use or containing moisture,
there may be possible risk of damaging the cargo with dent, crush, or tear.
Inappropriate③In case there is any gap between the outer package and contents, the cargo may
havepossible risk of dent or crush.

Inappropriate5【Weight of cardboard itself is 20kg or more】※Using skids is recommended①When building-up cardboard packaged cargos on same skid in one direction,or stacking in every direction overhanged from the skid, there is a risk of collapse due
to dent or crush caused by giving load to lower part.
Inappropriate②In case the cargo and cardboard-made skid is integrated, due to forklift claws directly
contacting the cargo, there is possible risk of causing dent or crush in the bottom part.
Also, paper-made skid will absorb water, which may be a risk to weaken its strength.

Inappropriate

6④When building-up cardboard packaged cargos on same skid, lashing with bundle
in one direction only may get loose which is a risk of causing collapse,
so that cross-bundling is recommended.

Appropriate⑤When building-up cardboard packaged heavy cargos together on same skid, there
is a risk of causing collapse if lashing is done with only shrink wrap.
Inappropriate⑥Any unevenness in the upper part may have risk to cause damage and space can
not be effectively utilized.
Inappropriate

7４．Requirement for Wooden box/frame・Steel frame
Though packaging with wooden box or wooden frame is stronger than cardboard, if incase package is insufficiently sealed or the contents not tied-down, there is a risk tocause damage.
Since it is necessary to efficiently build-up in the limited space, on assumtion to bestacked, delivery for acceptance of the cargo shall be packaged completely sealed, andthe top surface being flat with sufficient strength.

※For certain cargos, such as glasswares, cylinders, auto parts, if especially packaged
with sufficient cushioning material or strong skid, wooden box, frame box, skid with basefor oversize/heavy cargo, transportation is possible.
In case of inappropriate packaged cargo for air transportation, following problems willoccur.
①In case there is any crack, tear, nail protrusion, or peeling of joint in the outer package,
it may be a risk to damage other cargo.

Inappropriate②In case sufficient cushioning material is not used for fragile contents, there is a risk ofdamage during freight handling or air transportation.
Inappropriate

8③Upper part and side of cargo package is necessary to be firmly fixed.
There is a risk of damaging the contents itself or other cargo as well.
Inappropriate④In case top board has any unevenness or protrusion, due to risk of damaging othercargo and is difficult to build-up with other shipments, it may possibly be unable tosecure space. Please contact when making reservation.
Inappropriate⑤In case forklift claws is difficult to be inserted due to insufficient height (less than10cm) of skid's entry, there is a risk of the cargo to turnover or to be damaged.
