Abstract

Excerpts from the report: We must deliver beans of higher quality if we are to retain and expand our European market for dry beans. The ways of loading and unloading the beans shipped overseas and conditions in the holds of the ships must be improved for higher quality and less container breakage. Three ships were loaded with dry Pea (Navy) beans and other cargo at Detroit, Mich., in June. Each ship was equipped with electrical devices located among the bags of beans in the holds to make continuous recordings of moisture and temperature changes throughout the voyage to western Europe. One of the authors accompanied one of the ships and checked conditions in the hold daily. He met each of the other ships as it arrived in Europe and observed unloading and storage of the beans in Europe. This report is a compilation of the data and findings in the ships during their 22-25 days of ocean voyage and of observations concerning storage in Europe.
