Stevedoring and marine cargo handling encompass the wide range of operations involved in loading, unloading, and managing cargo on ships at ports and terminals. These activities are essential to global trade, ensuring that goods move efficiently between sea and land transport networks. Stevedoring traditionally refers to the labor and expertise of dockworkers—known as stevedores or longshoremen—who physically handle cargo operations on the docks, ship decks, and holds. In modern contexts, the term also covers the management of specialized equipment such as cranes, forklifts, conveyors, and container-handling systems. Marine cargo handling, a broader concept, includes not only the physical movement of goods but also the planning, coordination, safety management, and logistics functions that ensure cargo is transferred securely and efficiently.

The nature of stevedoring has evolved dramatically with the rise of containerization, which transformed maritime logistics in the late 20th century. Today, standardized containers enable faster, safer, and more organized cargo handling, significantly reducing loading times and labor intensity. Ports now rely on advanced mechanical systems—such as gantry cranes, automated stacking cranes, reach stackers, and terminal tractors—to move cargo with precision. In addition to containers, stevedoring covers a diverse range of cargo types, including bulk commodities (grain, coal, minerals), breakbulk goods (steel, machinery, timber), roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) cargo like vehicles, and liquid cargo transported through pipelines.

Safety and efficiency are central pillars of stevedoring and marine cargo operations. Dockside environments involve heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and complex vessel movements, making rigorous safety training, communication, and oversight critical. International standards—such as those issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), International Labour Organization (ILO), and International Organization for Standardization (ISO)—guide best practices for cargo securing, container inspection, and safe terminal operations.
