FOREWORD
DET NORSKE VERIT AS is an autonomous and independent Foundation with the objective of safeguarding life, property and
the environment at sea and ashore.
DET NO RS KE VERITAS AS i.., a fully owned subsidiary Society of the Foundation. It undertakes classification and certification
of ships, mobile offshore units, fixed offshore structures, facilities and systems for shipping and other industries. The Society
also carries out research and development associated with these functions.
DET NORSKE VERIT AS operates a worldwide network of survey stations and is authorised by more than 130 national admin istrations to carry out surveys and, in most cases, issue certificates on their behalf.
Classification Notes
Class1hcat.1on Notes are publications that give practical information on classification of ships and other objL'Cl<;. Examples of design solutions, calculation methods, specifications of test procedures, as well a'> acceptable repair methods for some components
are given as interpretations of the more general rule requirements.
A list of Classification Notes is found in the latest edition of Pt.O Ch.1 of the "Rules for Classification of Ships" and the "Rules
·
for Classification of High Speed, Light Craft and Naval Surface Craft".
The list of Classification Notes is also included in the current "Classification Services - Publications" i..,sued by the Society,
which is available on request. All publications may be ordered from the Society's Web site http://exchange.dnv.com.
Amendments and Corrections
The l'IUlin changes are:
The increasing size of container ships and introduction of new requirements, such as OSHA requirements etc, have led to a rapid
technical development within the field of container securing.
DNV have during the past years developed new analysis methods to account for these developments thal have not yet been inc luded into the published guidelines.
Due to this the Classification Note for container securing (CN 32.2) has been completely revised to include the recent development.
The changes can be summarised under the following headings calculation methods, guidance to specialised stowage and acceptance criteria.
Calculation methods
The Classification Note co ntain the formula based calculation method as given in the existing class note as well as a detailed
description of the new calculation method utilised in the "NAUTJ.CUS Container securing" software. These two analysis methods are considered equivalent however the new method is more general and can be used for a wider range of stowage arrangements.
In addition to these calculation methods a calculation method for mixed stowage is given (with and without over stow).
Specialised stowage
For specialised stowage types additional guidance is required in order to perform the analysis and in addition some stowage arrangements cannot be analysed with !-ltandardised analysis methods. To cope with these problems a new chapter have been introduced where guidance for stowage types such as the following is given:
Mixed stowage (20' containers in 40' cellguides and 40' containers in 45' cellguides)
Lashing to lashing bridge
Vertical lashings
Platform containers
Block stowage
Acceptance criteria
Some minor changes to the acceptance criteria will be introduced in the new Classification Note.
The allowable forces on the contai ner box have been slightly revised to allow forces in excess of the ISO test criteria, this revision
have been done to be aligned with the industry standard.
In addition a list of guidance values for allowable forces on lashing equipment has been added.

1.1 Introduction
I."J.1
Ch.3
Loading conditions
For Ships intended for container transport the "Rules for Classification of Ships" require that app roved securing arrangements for the cargo containers are fitted.
1.1.2
The purpose of this pu blicalion is to serve as an aid to those .responsible for the planning and strength evaluation of securing
arrangements for cargo containers on board ships. Acceptable
assumptions and cak:ulation procedures supplementing the
general requirements stated in the Rules for Classification of
Ships are given.
Ch.5

Ch.8
Special container
arrangements
Ch.4
Principles of analysis have been outlined for normal types of
securing arrangements, including cellular containment structures (rigid containment system).
1.1.4
For securing arrangements ba."ed on lashings or similar, calculation formulae taking into account the interaction of containers and supports have also been included.
1.2 Procedure
This classification note describes methods for performing calculations of container securing arrangements. The calculations
are based on requirements given in Rules for Cla.~sification of
Ships.
Two different calculation methods are desctibcd "Direct calculation using beam analysis" and a "Formula based analysis"
these two methods are in general considered to be equivalent.
Should the re however be discrepancies in the results of the two
methods the direct calculation method will be decisive (This is
also the method used in approval).
The flow chart in Figurel- 1 gives an overview of applicable
chapters depending on the meth()d of calculation.
The chapters are brietly described in the following:
Ch.2. Design Loads, gives description or reference to the applicable local loads, like wind loads and accelerations.
Ch. 3. Lnading Conditions, gives a description of the app 1icable
loading conditions.
Ch.4. Acceptance criteria, gives applicable strength ratings for
the containers and m·commendations for the lashing equipment.
Ch.5. Direct calculation usin!J beam analysis, outlines the procedure for calculation of container arrangements where the
containers and lashings are modeled as beam elements.
Ch.6. Fo rmula based analysis, Basic formu lae, outlines the basic formulae for the simp 1ified calculalion of ordinary container arrangements.
Ch.7. Formula based analysis, Derived formulae, gives derived formulae (from the Basic formulae described in Ch.6) for
simplified calculation of ordinary container arrangement'\.

Ship huU supports are normally assumed rigid. In special cases
(e.g. shoring forces at ship sides) it may be necessary to consider non-rigid supports. Sec also Ch. 8.
Wind exposed
container
Figurc2·1
1.4.2
Calculutions are assuming that contuincrs have at least normal
strength and stiffness, i.e. closed boxes, open-top boxes, tank
containers. For platform-based containers see Ch.8.
1.4.3
All containers in a stack or block arc placed in the same direc-
tions, i.e. all containers with doors or doorJess ends in same direction.
1.4.4
Friction effects are not taken into account.
Wiudlvad.
2.3 Accelerations
2.3.l
Accelerations should be computed according to Pt.3 Ch. l
Sec.4 B, i.e. extreme dynamic loads arc to be used. The transverse dynamic acceleration is not to be taken less than the minimum acceleration given in Pt.5 Ch.2 Sec.6 0301.
The actual/realistic roll radius of gyration, kr, and metacentric
height, GM, may be used in the calculations instead of the rules
defined provided these have been computed for the actual condition.
1.4.S
Pretension of lashings is noL considered.
Nvte:
2.1 General
The rules defined rolling angle is given in Pt.3 Ch. 1 Sec.4. lf rolling angles is specified in exce&~ of these rules defi ned the acceleration~ in general should be computed in accordance with Pt.3
Ch.I Sec.4 B utilising the specified roll angle and the iulcs de-

fined period of roll. This will lead to very high accelerations un less the period of roll is increased.
2. Design Loads
Design loads applied in direct calculations arc to be taken as
given in the Rules for Classification of Ships Pt.5 Ch.2 Sec.6
G. Wind loads and accelerations arc further specified in 2.22.3 in the following.

4.4 Ship structure
When a force F (3.85 kN for the door end and 10 k.N for the
door-less end) is applied to the container the calculated deflection should be l mm.
4.4.1
The supporting structure for the containers such as hatch covers. decks, inner bottom and bulkheads must be evaluated according to Pt.5 Ch.2 Sec.6. accep1ance criteria is given in T300.
5.2.2
5. Direct calculation using beam analysis
The twistlocks must be modelled with a hinge at one end to
avoid transferring bending moments between the containers.
see Figure 5-2.
Twistlocks are to he modelled with an area sufficiently large to
avoid large tensile deformations.

the program NAUT1CUS Container Securing.
ft'igure 5-2
Hinge at end of twist lock
5.1.3
The container stacks are modelled as two independent 2-dimensional beam models, one ror the door end and one for the
doorless end to incorporate lhe different racking stiffness.
Each stack may be analysed separately unless there are connections between the stacks such as double stackers or similar,
in which case the whole block needs to be analysed. Non-structural top bridge fittings arc ignored in the analysis.
5.1.4
Non-linearities such as compression elements and gaps in horizontal supports mus1 be included. The analysis is to include
tbe effects of clearances. For individual coniainer stacks, clearances of stack fittings may be ignored. Stipulated clearances
between container stacks and horizontal supports are to be taken into account. For container blocks with horizontal supports,
clearances of bridge fittings within the block are to be taken
into account. Non-linearities such as compression elements
and gaps in horizontal supports must be included.
5.2.3
Stacking cones are modelled as twist locks with the difference
thut these must be modelled as non-linear clements capable of
taking compresllion and shear but not tension.
5.2.4
Double stackers, linked twistlocks and linkage plates are modelled with the actual cross sectional area. The transverse elements should he positioned nl the midpoint of the twistlock/
stacking cone and in general be fitted with hinges at both ends,
sec Figure 5-3. For components that have the capability to
transfer vertical shear rorces these hinges may be omitted.
Gaps in the bridges must be modelled as non-linearities.

Kc = 10 kN/mm for doorlcss ends
5.2.S
Kc
= 3.85 kN/rnm for door ends
Unlc.~s otherwise specified, the racking stiffness of container
sidewalls may be taken equal to doorless container end walls.
The corner posts arc modelled with a shear area so that the correct racking stiffness is obtained, according to Figure 5- 1. The
bending stiffness o f the beams should be high to avoid introducing bending strc..~ses in the elements.

Buttress supports, compression and tension clements arc modelled with the actual cross sectional area. Pure compression elements must be modelled as non-linear element taking
compression only, in addition the gap between the clement and
the supporting structure must be modelled as non-linearity.
Hull deformations, if significant, arc to be taken into account
when detc1mining the shoring for<.:cs.
5.2.6
Por ordinary lashing units with one turnbuckle or lashing, the
lashing should be modelled as beam clements with characteristics according co Table 5- 1. The lashings elements shall be

6.2 Non-rigid securing arrangements (Lashings and
similar)
6.2.1
For non-rigid securing arrangements the vertical support forces. internal forces of the container stacks. horizontal suooort
forces and lashing forces are all to he calculated if relevant.
6.2.2
5.4.2
Loads should be applied as point loa<ls in the corners of the
containers. The distribution of transverse inertia forces between the top and bottom corners should be taken in relation to
the centre of gravity of the container, which should in no case
be set lower than 45% of the container height. Vertical inertia
forces are only applied to Lhc bottom comers of the container.
W in<l loads may be equally distributed between the 4 comers
of the container, on the windward side or distributed on all corners of the container.
The analysis is to take into account Lhc flexibility of the con tainers. Unless otherwise spedficd, the racking sliffness Kc of
container end walls for normal closed box ISO containers may

Forces shall be extracted from the model to continn thut the
loads in the securing devices between the containers and the
container boxes themselves are not to exceeding the safe working load of the securing devices or the container strength timit,
according to Chapter 4.
Tn addition the reaction forces in the ship structure must be
considered.
Calculalions are to be performed for container stacks or blocks
assuming both doorless and Joor end walls. Normally maximum vertical and horizontal reaction forces at the stack base
are found for doorles.~ ands, whilst maximum horizontal support forces and lashing forces are found for door ends.
6.2.4
The analysis is to be based on the e lastic stiffness of lashings
according to their type and dimensions, ref. Ch. 7. I . I.

The analysis is to include the effects of clearances. For individual container stacks, clearances of stack fittings may be ignored. Stipulated clearances between container stacks and
horizontal supports are to be taken into account. For container
blocks with horizontal supports, clearances of bridge fittings
within the block arc to be taken into account as outlined in Ch
6.5.
6.2.6
The effects of vertical connections between the containers of a
stack are to be taken properly into account. The effects of possible tipping of container stacks without lock connection at
bottom supports are of special importance and must he especially considered ref. Ch. 5.2.
6.2.7
6.1.2
The maximum compressive force in container end posts may
be taken as:

The calculations are based on methods of analysis applicable
for structures in general. In the analysis the container walls
may be considered as shear panels. The interaction between
the two ends (or sides) of containers may normal I y be assumed
negligible, see also Ch. 8.2.
6.2.8

Generally, the horizontal force of the container per end or side
is to he taken as:

The stresses and forces in the securing structures for hori:Lontul
accelerations and forces from wind, where relevant, arc to he
calculated for transverse and longitudinal forces per contuiner
equal (M <ti+ P w) and (M a1 + Pw) k.N, respectively.
6.1.4
The analysis required for rigid container securing arrangements depends on the Climplexity of U1c arrangement. For
complex cellular securing structures, direct analysis may be
necessary. In other cases manual calculation will be s ufficient.
ah = at or a 1 for transverse or longitudinal accelerations, res pectively.

The displacement at levels below the force in question is proportional to Lhe level number, e.g. the clisplacement at level i
due to force acting at level k is given by:
The displacement at levels above the force in question is equal
to the displacement at the force level.
6.3.4
The support force at level i is expressed as a function of the .resulting horizontal displacement at the same level, i.e.:
The support forces at level i, k and m are gi vcn by the formulae
in 6.3.4. At level j the resulting displacement is given by:

In this way the linear equations may be set up for an arbitrary
combination of rigid and flexible supports.

The horizontal forces as mentioned in 6.3.3 must be equal to

From these equations the horizontal support forces Prnv Prk • Prj

Container stacks conne(;ted by horizontal bridge stackers may
he regarded as a block with respect to lashing und rigid horizontal supports. It is assumed that bridge stackers are fitted at
each level of horizontal support and that the clearances at
stackers normally are negligible. T he block may be calculated
on the basis of an analysis of single stacks with the same deflection (fixed suppo1t clearance). The resulting horizontal
support force will be the sum of all support forces from the individual stacks.
If the horizonial stackcrs are fitted with a clearance &b at each
stacker, the suppon clearances &ic• &jc• &kc or &1c are for each
stack away from the rig id support LO be increased by &b. Arrangement with a single rigid support is shown in Figure 6-2 .

If the number of stacks in a block i.<:> greater than 4 and bridge

general, the formulae may be applied for the determination of
vertical suppo11 forces, horizontal support forces and .lashing

include the vertical component of possible lashing forces and

The racking force Sr in the end wall of the lowermost container
is to be calculated according to 6.2.12 with the reduced Prif inserted in the fonnula. The vertical support forces may be calculated with the uncorrected P n-
6.5.3
Tn order to reduce the hori:t.ontal support forces at rigid block
supports, the supports may be arranged for absorbing both
compressjon and tension. ff the clearances at tbe individual
stackers are considered to be negligible, a 50% distribution between the compression and tension side may no1mally he used
when calculating the support forces according to 6.5.1 and
6.5.2.
In case of clearance at each horiwntal bridge stacker, redistribution towards 100% compression will take p lace. A 50% distribution may be achieved hy omitting all bridge stackers
between middle stacks, thus obtaining two individual blocks.
The bending stiffness of the container wall is assumed >>
than their shear stiffness. The container walls have therefore been considered as shear panels.
Internal clearances in stacking and locking members of individual stacks are ignored.
Tensile vertical forces are assumed taken by lock stackers.
If lock slackers are not fitted and containers may be subject to tilling, the lashing forces will have to be specially
considered
The flexi'bility of container walls and lashings are assumed
to be linear.
Pre-stressing of lashings is not included in the consideration.
Containers subjected to horizontal acceleration forces are
assumed homogeneously loaded with gravity centre in the
centre point of the container (However a CoG of 45% may
be utilised).

Wind lashings eannot in general be included in the analysis but
must be considered as a separate item.

40' containers may he carried in cell guides designed for 45'
containers provided that:
Cones fixed to the tank lop or similar arrangements are fitted at mid hold lo resttict sliding of the bottom of the 40'
stacks.
Securing devices (e.g. slacking cones) are to be provided
between each tier of the 40' containers.
Maximum stack height is 7 tiers.
The loads on the securing devices b etween the containers
and the container boxes themsel vcs are not to exceed lhc
safe working load of the securing devices or the container
strength limil.
The containers arc lo have steel walls and top, i.e. open
frame containers are not allowed.
8.3.2
The container weighl of the 40' stacks is determined by the
racking force limit of the lowesl container. The transverse dynamic forces on each lier may be distributed with 50% to the
mid hold end and 50% to the cell guide end.
The racking force of Lhc lowest 40' conlaincr is determined by
smnming the tram;verse forces of the 40' container ends above
lhc Iowe.st container with one half of the transverse force of the
lowest comainer.
8.3.3
The deformation of the container stack should also be analysed, taking into account the clearances between the stacking
cones and the comer castings. to veti ry that the different stacks
will not come into contact The analysis should he performed
in longitudinal and transverse direction and a combination of
both.
Due to the clearances in the twistlocks lhe wind lashing will
carry the whole load until the deformations of the stack have
closed these clearances.
8.5.3
For wind lashings fitted with special lurnhuckles, in order to
have the same "clearance" of the lai:;hing as the lwistloeks, the
vertical tensile force may be assumed divided between the conlaincr corner post and the lashing. 1/3 in the lashing and 2/3 in
the corner post.
!-<or lashings without such a device the w hole force is assumed
taken by the lashing.

Care must be taken so that. the verlicul and sideways support
points of lhc containers is aligned with the. fo r this purpose, reinforced areas of the ship structure.
8.6.2
The eftects of slowing mixed container heights in the holds
must be specially considered taking into account the support
points in the transverse bulkhead und i:;ide structure.
8.6.3
The effects of hull deflections due to sea loading are to be taken inlo account when calculating transverse shoring forces.
This is especially important for vessels with long holds and
where the ship side deflections are large. If lhc hull deflections
are unknown a conservative assumption should be made.
8.6.4
C..1earances in securing equipment between the secuJing equipment and the supporting structure must be specified.

8.6.5
Container blocks in holds without transverse connections, only
compression pads (i.e. OSHA adaption) should be specially
considered since this equipment does not give any vertical
shear restraint and hence the horizontal support forces will be
increased.
8.7 Platform based containers with reduced stiffness

Platform based containers generally have reduced racking
stiffness and longitudinal strength that must be taken into account in the analysis.

A.2 Definitions
In case two nominated computers are used, these are both to he
equipped with separate screen and printer.
Lashing computer system
A lashing computer system is a computer-based system for calculation and control of container securing arrangements for
compliance with the applicable strength requirements. The
lashing computer system consists of software (calculation program) and hardware (the computer on which it runs).
A.4 General hardware requirements
A.5 General software requirements
Lt. is recommended that the design and production of the calculation program is in accordance with appropriate quality standards.
Approval and certification for a specific v~ssel
The software is to present the relevant parameters of each con tainer arrangement. The following is to be presented:
Approval of software means that ONV approves the software
for a specific installation onboard a specific vessel. The approval is based on a review and acceptance of design, calculation method, verification of slorcd data and test calculation for
the specific vessel.
2) GM-value
Approval of the software is to be carried out for each specific
vessel where the software is to be installed.
Approval of the software results in approved rest conditions.
If the software is type-approved, the review and acceptance of
design is not necessary for each specific vessel. Only verification of user's manual, stored data and test calculations for the
specific vessel will then be carried out.
Certification (installation testing) is carried out to ensure that
the lashing computer system works properly onboard the specific vessel, and to ensure tl1al Lhc correct approved version of
the software has been installed.
Certification is to be carried out for each vessel where a lashing
computer system has been installed.

Lashings arc modelled as a pipe section with diameter of 25
nun and a wall thickness of 12.4 mm. The material for the rod
is defined according to the following:
For lashing to first tier

For simplicity reasons the twisllocks and lashing rods are attached to the extreme comers of the container. The lashing
rods must be given truss properties, alternatively beam properties with hinged connection to the corner casting in order to
avo.id bending moments. The Lasing rods arc tension members
only. Therefore, only the lashing subjected to tension loads
should he modelled, see Figure B-5.

Loads:
The transverse force is divided between the two sides of the
container (50% each) and between the four corners of each side
in relation to the centre of gravity.
LC4 is not calculated in the beam analysis since it is a relatively simple check of the racking force in the containers this is
easy checked by using a simplified analysis.
