Q
Attaching the lashing strap
The selected lashing equipment must be strong and long enough for the intended purpose
and have the correct length for the type of lashing. Responsible users plan cargo security in
advance: they plan the attachment and removal of the lashing devices before the start of
the journey. With longer trips, partial unloading must be considered. Calculate the number
of lashing devices according to EN 12195-1. Only lashing systems labelled for lashing down
with STF (standard tension force) may be used for friction lashing.

Before starting to unload, make sure that the lashing equipment is released so that
the load can be lifted freely.
