slab load
See Charles' extensive discussions and my earlier references. The word is "losa". "LoZa" would not make sense in this context.
HTH!

Could "loza" be an error for "losa" and referring to the slab load?

Thanks Robert. But "loza" does not quite gel! (I can't spell or it is the Jamaican coming out). LOL! https://es.oxforddictionaries.com/translate/spanish-english/...

Manuel Aburto
: As a civil engineering graduate, I do agree with Taña and with Charles. The right word in Spanish for "slab" is "losa" it can also be translated as "entrepiso" but I am affraid that it does not apply in this context.

Reference:
loza here = losa (as Taña says)
I think the following document dispels any possible doubts. It is an official technical report from Peru, written by a consultant, on port services in Paita, Callao and Matarani. The following paragraph contains both spellings:
"Manipuleo de carga en losa de muelle o gremios marítimos (opcional y para caso de contenedores con carga directa), consiste en la movilización del contenedor desde la losa de muelle hasta embarcarlo a un vehículo de transporte terrestre. Incluye dos manipuleos en el caso de descarga indirecta hacia almacenes extraportuarios o zonas de carga seca, primero el manipuleo desde la loza de muelle hasta la zona de pre-stacking y segundo el levante del contenedor desde la zona de pre-stacking hasta el vehículo de transporte, el cual lo trasladará hacia el terminal extraportuario." (p. 36; p. 38 of file)
http://apam-peru.com/documentacion/BIBLIOTECA/informetecnico...
The "losa de muelle" can be called the quay slab, at least in the UK:
"The reinforced concrete quay slab is suspended on a grid of bored concrete piles to support 40kN/m2 and large cargo handling equipment such as reach stackers and mobile cranes."
https://www.doran.co.uk/stormont-wharf-extension-belfast-har...
But perhaps you would simply say "quayside load" here.

Needless to say, the error arises from the fact that in Peruvian Spanish losa and loza are homophones. As Robert has indicated, s/z spelling mistakes are very common in American Spanish for this reason.

"Carga" could mean load, that is, the load to which the "losa de muelle" is subjected, but on reflection "volumen de carga" is perhaps more like to mean volume of cargo, so this phrase would mean the cargo volume on the quay (literally on the quay slab).
