The birth of a ship The design criteria for a feeder vessel’s container stowage solution differ completely from the criteria for an ultra large container carrier, and so do their container securing systems. Whatever the size of the vessel, Cargotec knows how to design and deliver an efficient cargo handling and stowage system for containerised cargo. We know how to get all the parts of this system to work in unison, ensuring that your vessel sails with the best possible performance. A vessel designed for its cargo Building a new vessel is a major investment and the decisions taken at the...

Container stowage solutions

The best container stowage solutions are built around their intended cargo All elements of the container stowage solution influence each other; understanding all these elements is necessary to define critical areas and find the best possible solutions. An efficient container stowage solution can only be achieved by treating the ship’s hull and its cargo handling system as a single optimised entity, not as separate blocks. Consequently, parts of the container stowage system, such as the hatch covers, lashing bridges, container stanchions, loose and fixed container fittings on deck and in the...

Container lashings from drawing board to operation Why should we know about your cargo profile? One of the cornerstones of the way we work is to improve the productivity of our customers’ cargo handling systems, helping them to increase both their competitiveness and their environmental efficiency. With the right indicators, which lead to the right design parameters for your vessel and its cargo handling system, we can maximise the amount of cargo carried in relation to deadweight tonnage. The onboard distribution of heavy and light containers, and subsequently total cargo weight, should...

Critical components of the container stowage solution With regard to deck systems, the different components of the container stowage solution have individual design features for different container loading scenarios, which depend on the cargo profile, the number of Lashing system Cargo system index value of 40’ containers When determining the container stowage system, it is important to consider the effect of different loading requirements that have an impact on individual components. From the 40’ container loading example, it can be seen that major effects come from the container lashing...

Container securing It is all about cargo safety. The container is a weak box loaded with heavy cargo inside and above. The mass of the cargo is accelerated by the six types of movement of a ship in response to sea conditions and by additional forces from wind and green seas. To handle these forces, and to secure the valuable cargo, containers need to be further stabilised and secured by lashing equipment. MacGregor container stowage solutions are your first choice for the highest cargo safety standards. Innovative product design, together with high grade materials and uncompromised quality...

Static and dynamic components The forces acting on the container in both longitudinal and transversal sliding depend on the static and dynamic forces. The static force is gravity and the dynamic forces are those caused by the ship’s motion (roll, pitch, heave, yaw, surge and sway), windage and heavy seas.

Container securing system design What do we need to know about your new ship project? Our container securing system design process starts in close cooperation with our customers by creating a full picture of the ship’s cargo profile and defining effective lashing patterns. Crucial information like weight distribution calculations and the comparison of total costs for different container securing systems help our customers to decide the best fit for their ships. A container stowage plan can also be designed as part of a complete container securing system. We begin by defining the lashing...
