Lifting, Cargo Gear & Load Testing
Container and lashing equipment suppliers provide freight containers and the hardware used to secure cargo for sea transport — twistlocks and semi-automatic twistlocks, lashing bars and rods, turnbuckles, D-rings, and other cargo-securing fittings used to lash containers, vehicles, and break-bulk cargo to a vessel's deck or hold.
This is cargo-securing equipment rather than the lifting slings used to hoist a load or the cranes that move it; lashing gear instead holds cargo in place once stowed, following the principles set out in a vessel's cargo securing manual. Suppliers stock replacement twistlocks and lashing bars to match a ship's fitted socket pattern and can supply new or reconditioned shipping containers. Buyers reorder lashing consumables routinely as gear is lost or damaged overside, and source containers separately, comparing suppliers on fit, stock availability, and price. It sits within the Lifting, Cargo Gear & Load Testing category group on PortProcure.

FAQ
The vessel's cargo securing manual sets out the lashing pattern and equipment rating required for each stack position, calculated against the ship's stability limits and the sea and weather conditions expected on the voyage, not a generic rule of thumb. Buyers replacing lashing gear match the rated capacity the manual calls for at that position, not just the physical fit of the fitting.
Cargo stowed under the IMDG Code can carry additional segregation and securing requirements beyond a standard cargo securing manual entry, since some classes must be lashed to prevent shifting that could damage packaging or breach required segregation distances. Buyers handling IMDG cargo should confirm the lashing equipment and pattern used meets those added requirements, not only the vessel's general lashing plan.
A manual twistlock requires a docker to physically rotate and lock the handle by hand on both container placement and release. A semi-automatic twistlock locks automatically as the container is landed and only needs manual release, speeding up stevedoring. Buyers replacing lost or damaged gear match the type already fitted in a stack, since manual and semi-automatic twistlocks aren't interchangeable within the same socket.
