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?
There are twistlocks in the corners which join each container to the one below. Up to a certain height the deck stacks are lashed to gantries on the ship using steel lashing rods.
Configuring these lashings is one of the more important jobs on the ship.
