Container Lashing

Today, I have published this picture that shows two lashingmen involved in container lashing onboard the vessel. We can see that the lashing bar is inserted into the opposite side corner casting of the container, and the lashing bar is put crossly, connected with the turnbuckle. It is the main system of container securing onboard the vessel. And, Today, I want to give some abbrievations about the main container vessel concerns around the world.
