A space left in between the pallets were stuff with some plastic pallets. But due to the high cost for returning the pallets back to the shipper, using dunnage airbags turned out to be much more suitable. By simply inflating the airbags, the gaps are filled adequately.

Double stacking big bags on top of each other is usually a complicated task. Having a "soft" structure, big bags have a tendency to "sag". By using dunnage airbags in the middle of the gap, big bags can keep their original form, and are kept stabilized from right-left movements. Combined with double lashing near the container doors to avoid the front-end movements, it allows a safe transportation.
