A Ship Can Literally Sweat on Its Cargo
A cold drink gathers water because warm, humid air touches its cold surface and releases moisture. The same basic physics can occur inside a sealed ship’s cargo hold as the vessel crosses between very different climates.
Unlike a can, however, the water cannot simply be wiped away. It can drip onto cargo, spoil it, and lead to major claims when the hold is opened at the discharge port.
