How do container ships secure their cargo such that the shipping containers at the top of those tall stacks do not fall off into the ocean?
In: Engineering
The containers are connected together by single or double stacking cones or twist locks. The entire stack or container block is lashed using lashing wires or rods and turnbuckles.
If you want me to explain in ELI5 what a turnbuckle, a twist lock, a stack, a stacking cone, a rod or a lashing wire is, just let me know.
