摘要: The securing and lashing of containers on ship’s decks is a difficult operation in terms of the work environment. There are great problems during loading and discharge of containers. The stevedores who carry out this work, known as riggers, have to work on container stacks which are often 13 meters high or more above the ship’s deck. Safety arrangements are in some ports poor and the work frequently has to be performed in the dark, under windy and rainy and sometimes icy conditions. The problems are to a large extent due to the lashing equipment. The immense diversity of the devices used gives rise to great problems. Securing of containers is the responsibility of the ship’s master (captain), which can mean that there are large differences in the manner in which the operation is effected between individual vessels and shipping companies. Problems can also arise during sea transport and containers can be lost in the open sea. Standardisation of this equipment is important, to avoid some of the problems. This standardisation must be carried out within the international standardisation organisation, ISO, in order to get the necessary international impact A standardisation project should comprise performance, design, construction, strength and use of all components used for securing of containers. Furthermore there should be clear instruction for their use. This investigation presents commonly used equipment, proposes test methods and gives advice for dimensions, tolerances and strength requirements.
