Warning symbols

When you stow containers, XPS graphically alerts you to stowage violations. In a scan view or a section view, these alerts appear as stack warnings, red icons, or numerals above or below the individual stacks. In addition, container icons change appearance to indicate a number of errors, such as overstows and multiple containers that are planned to the same slot, as shown in the following figures.

More than two containers in one slot:

Overstow container:

 

In scan views, a red arrow indicates a stack that exceeds its height limit. However, XPS performs the height validation for a stack only if the weight of the projection group is available. A red diamond indicates a stack that exceeds its weight limit, as shown in the figure. If both limits are exceeded, only the red diamond appears.

In section views, the remaining stack weight and height display above the stack in above-deck section views and below the stack in below-deck views. If you exceed a stack's height or weight limit, the XPS client displays negative numbers in red, as shown in the figure.

For warnings about vessel stress and stability, see Weight management (on page 1).
