Introduction

For ships intended for container transport the «Rules for Classification of Steel Ships» (henceforth refered to as «the Rules») require that approved securing arrangements for the cargo containers are fitted.

The purpose of this pub I ication is to serve as an aid to those responsible for the planning and strength evaluation of securing arrangement's for cargo containers on board ships. Acceptable assumptions and calculation procedures supplementing the general requirements stated in the Rules are given.

Principles of analysis have been outlined for normal types of securing arrangements, including cellular containment structures.

For securing arrangements based on lashings or similar, calculation formulae taking into account the interaction of containers and supports have also been included.
