Lashing Chain & Shackles

  • Lashing chains are generally used to secure container cargoes if the chains will be returned. On very valuable cargoes, however, it may also be worthwhile to use them as a “lost load securing aid”, because of the benefits offered by their high strength and speed with which they can be deployed.
  • Lashing chains are made of high strength steel. A range of different tensioning mechanisms are used with chains.
