Once you’ve have your cargo safely loaded onto the deck it needs to be secured. There are number of ways of effectively doing this including:

  • Wires
  • Chains 
  • Rope 
  • Straps
  • “Tomming-off”
  • Brackets
  • Welding

 

Each of these methods is discussed in more details in this attached  PowerPoint.
