Investigations of vehicle securing without lashings for Ro-Ro ships

o reduce the area on deck occupied by each car and the labour and time required for lashing and unlashing cars, it has been proposed by the author that in some conditions, cars on decks could be transported without lashing. To evaluate cargo securing based on this lashing-free concept, computational code was developed to calculate the vehicle-deck interactions for various ship motions. The code was structured by incorporating a vehicle model...
