How do containers on a container ship stay stacked?

434 views

In a container yard, containers are just sorta stacked ontop of eachother without being locked to one another. On a ship, this surely can’t be the same cause they’d just tip over at sea?

well, sometimes they do tip over at sea. It does happen, usually in severe storms and very rough seas, more often than people think. Around 1300 shipping containers are lost at sea annually.
