Baggage

In maritime context, baggage refers to the personal belongings and possessions of passengers or crew members on board a ship. It includes items such as clothing, toiletries, personal electronics, and other personal effects. Baggage is typically stored in designated areas or cabins on the ship, either in lockers or under the passengers' or crew members' beds. It is important for passengers and crew to properly pack and secure their baggage to prevent damage or loss during the voyage. Baggage is subject to inspection by maritime authorities for security purposes, and certain items may be restricted or prohibited from being brought on board. Additionally, baggage may be subject to weight and size restrictions, especially on smaller vessels or during air-sea transfers. Proper labeling and identification of baggage is essential to ensure that it is returned to the correct owner at the end of the voyage. In case of lost or damaged baggage, passengers or crew members can file a claim with the ship's management or the maritime company for compensation or assistance.
