Cargo or freight that is loaded and carried on the deck of a ship rather than in the hold.
Combination of 'deck' and 'load,' a nautical term that emerged as shipping practices standardized. Describes practical cargo placement.
Container ships stack those massive metal boxes (TEU containers) as deckload—it's the reason modern cargo ships look like they're carrying a giant's building blocks on top.
