in 1972 CSL put some type of vinal coating on the cargo hold walls. did it help? perhaps but the cargo (usually coal} still got "hung up" down into the cargo hold went the deckhands holding onto the chains trying to free up the coal cargo. im sure to this day the same problem sometimes occurs. ore pellets and stone generally flow freely. one time in thunder bay a sticky cargo had to be dynamited to make it flow. the people doing so knew what they were doing, no damage to the vessel and yes it was successful
