Today we learned that when vessels are built, the securing of the containers are usually built along with the vessel. Bottom foundations are the equipments that allow the conatainers to slide into place and these things include the cloverleaf and dovetails. These names comes from the apperances of these locks and are usually held with twistlocks on each corner of the container. These all go according to The International Maritime Organization, which requires that all vessels be provided with a “Cargo Securing Manual.” Most of the container overboards aren't from the gear, but from the collapse of container frames due to racking or other influence on the racks.
On our update so far on our project, we are working on the literary review.
See you next time!
