Editor's Notes
- 1
- First thing we realised is we need to dig deeper into the world of container cargo securing. So, we started on a journey, during the first part of which, we talked to many groups of people: Surveyors / governement controlling agencies / insurers / customers And found out that in a number of European main ports (Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg and Bremen) Less than 2% of all IMDG containers are opened and undergo an inspection!!
- Of those <2% opened: 25% of export containers is considered poorly secured 60% of import containers is considered poorly secured There are clearly many, many uncontrolled containers underway that could pose a potential threat. And, as the ships get bigger, this threat may grow. Looking further…
- 65% of the cause of container incidents seems to be brought back to poor securing – CINS There is obviously a risk here! There are of course conscientious/good and less conscientious/good shippers but this raises the question: Why do shippers not always secure IMDG container cargos well?
- Talking to customers we see the following answers; securing is seen as: Time consuming Expensive Complex Often – calculated risk as so few containers are controlled. Q = do we need more controls or do we need better education and better solutions?? A = we cannot expect more controls so need better education and better solutions!
- I’ve had the pleasure of working for Cordstrap for 30 years - never boring - in a constantly changing world of cargo securing and transportation Various roles from sales, product development to training and setting up our knowledge center Qualified trainer – training our own staff, customers and even shipping lines and surveyors in caro securing Proud member of ICHCA, proud to have been able to take part in the last stage of finalizing the CTU Code of Practice Always involved in innotation at Cordstrap , making a bridge between sales and marketing Enough about me!
- What I just talked about was the background to the real journey and the real theme of my presentation; “The role of technology in delivering better outomes related to packing and securing.” Now, what is technology? – Oxford Dictionary definition…
- What does that mean in the world of container chemical transport? To help shippers to pack and secure cargos properly, we need to make it more efficient = quicker and at lower TCO. 1. We have a practical purpose – improve cargo securing 2. We use scientific approach – research the relevant fields 3. We apply the knowledge gained – better solutions Where did we start? Map out the relevant fields…..
- 6 fields of interest: Container types Transport modes and forces Packaging Rules & Regulations Securing materials Customers – last but not least Let’s have a step by step look at each the technology and science of each field and what we discovered…..
- Customer requiremetns: Safety Ease of use Certification incl. AAR rail USA Lower TCO Gives an insight into why often container cargos are often not well secured Particularily – application time and TCO = costs!
- What do the the Rules & Regulations say? Hazerdous goods: look to: IMDG Code – what? Prevent any movement leading to change of orientation Prevent damage to packaging Prevent damage to container CTU Code – how? (wealth of knolwedge) Forces Materials Properties MSL values Application But, specific detailed cargo securing recommendations…..no
- Customers want AAR approved solutions! What does the CTU Code say about AAR shunting forces? Not given What do the AAR tell you? Either do not know or will not inform you! So, we had to investigate this ourselves: Practically Theoretically with help of Reden, engineering consultants
- Practically 1. Shunting speeds prescribed at 4, 6 and 9 mph Theoretically 1. Simulating speeds 2. Simulating forces 3. Simulating interaction of packaging in the container Conclusions: Had to cater for up to 2,5g (1,8 g found out later!) Needed to reduce movement as no contact to doors is allowed Container modelling showed max force in lashings 1667 daN Elongation <4% at 1667 daN (now 5-6%)
- Applying technology to match the lashing properties to the application: What did we do? Stretched the lashing some more during heat setting Got the elongation down under4% at 1667 daN Simulated this again in the container at 2,5g Conclusion: Theoretical results showed this would work!

- Applying: technology and scientific research and knowledge to pratical purposes we can finally to the complete solution: CornerLash – let’s look at the 2 min film as it will show you all you need to know…..
- Here we see: The corner fittings being placed in the container corner post recess Rolling out the lashings, 2 left and 2 right Placing the IBC corner protectors over the IBC frame Attaching the buckle and tightening the lashings Pneumatic tensioner to reduce the elongation The final result

- Finally – like to leave you with a vision of how the future could be: Many times, we work in different directions If we can all work in one direction (happening = CINS/steel coils etc) Identify the problems Tackle them using all our technological resources We will solve all the challenges that we face Thank you Challenge us – we are here with the 3 of us – Elmo, Adeel and myself!
