ABS has published a new notation that enables containership operators to load an additional tier of containers on deck with reduced risk of loss due to parametric rolling. Called
CLP-V(PARR), it combines the ABS Computer Lashing Program notation with mandatory parametric roll guidance to allow operators to optimize stowage and lashing of containers without loss of safety margin.
“Optimizing container loading is key to efficient vessel operations but also has a foundational impact on safety,...
North P&I Club has launched a guidance, focused on the importance of correctly using computer programs for container stowage, reports Safety4sea.
Loading computers for stowage-related issuesThe club explained that loading computers can prove invaluable in preventing stowage-related issues, such as exceeding stack or tier weights and calculating the lashing acceleration forces. However, as with all computer programs, they must be used properly.
