In a maritime and logistics context, wash can refer to several things, but typically it relates to the damage or loss that occurs to cargo as a result of water exposure. This can happen during loading/unloading or as a result of sea water breaching the cargo hold on a vessel. Key considerations include:

Insurance Claims: Damage from washing is a common claim in marine insurance, and handling these claims requires careful documentation of the extent and cause of damage.
Preventative Measures: Adequate packaging, careful stowage, and proper sealing of containers are critical to prevent wash damage.
Each of these terms highlights different aspects of handling and managing goods, from their storage and transport to the documentation and insurance coverage that facilitate and protect these processes.
