We use to do this in 3 man teams. Trust m,e, ships do not look this pristine! They are rusted oily and freaken dangerous. two high lashing bars are very heavy and you have to balance them and watch your footing and keep and eye on the penguin (hook you have to insert into the conttianer) it needs to attach to.. Broken foot herniated disks and fracture hip, also dislocated shoulder. Once your body is destroyed, you are then fired and left for dead.

@firstlast1047 10 месяцев назад

I had occasion to be on a container ship while it was loading. The two lashers were incedible. Working in unision, they applied the lashings without falling behind. The noise was deafening, very loud. I wonder how a person would know if a stack was collapsing. I discovered, during the short time i was on deck, there was a distinct noise pattern indicating a successful placement. Also, the ship's crew, every 2/3 days, while the ship is underway, are required to inspect lashings and remove the slack

@qa1e2r4 10 месяцев назад

Why is he cleaning almost brand new perfectly clean "demo" twist lock? He should be cleaning the old and dirty one first!!! Also how many he can clean with such non-specific equipment? A boat have how many of these? Hundreds maybe thousands? Will he be able to clean a full set by his retirement? He does one in 5-6 min each container needs 4 so 30min per container so 16 containers in a 8h day. 15000 containers on avarage as per google so for him to do a full ship he needs almost 3 years for a full rotation....

Corner locks provide "increased efficiency," when we haven't mentioned any efficiency yet, so it's not clear what's increased. It's automatic so there's no manual labour involved. We have no idea why the video shows that guy putting those castings in the slots in the corner of the container by hand.

Who owns the hardware? all those thousands of twistlocks and lashing rods do they come with the containers? the ship? on loan from the dock? how do they keep track of them all so they get returned after use? or is it a communal thing?

@FloGrelot 10 месяцев назад

Every ship provides their own pins. They usually have 10+ pin boxes that get unloaded when the ships arrives. Every pin that gets removed from containers goes in those boxes to be reused later for loading the ship then when it's all done the ship loads up the pin boxes aboard and does the same thing at the next port.

@RogerGarrett 10 месяцев назад

This seems like a perfect opportunity for an automated twist-lock insertion (and removal) system. When the overhead crane lifts the container off of the truck that's brought it into the port, the crane momentarily sets it down on top of an automated twist-lock insertion mechanism that instantly, safely, and with no human intervention, inserts the twist locks into the container. Similarly those twist locks can be removed at the destination port with a reverse system. It's just so incredibly inefficient to have people manually handling, inserting, and removing those locks.
