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 standards, ensure that your vessel will perform at its peak from its maiden journey throughout its lifetime.
Our package for improving your container securing system performance and cargo safety: • Lashmate® stowage calculation software ensures that the lashing system can handle the cargo, based on what has actually been loaded and where • Lashing products and systems with margins for unintentional overload included • Lashing products that incorporate margins for rough handling • Lashing products designed for limiting and eliminating incorrect operation • Lashing products that include design margins for fatigue, wear and corrosion • Global spares and service support throughout the vessel’s lifetime
MacGregor has always been the pioneering brand in the container cargo securing market, bringing value adding solutions to your container vessel operation. And we continue to do so with our intensive cargo system solutions research and development activity.
