Lashing Steel Coil
- Steel coil is a high-value cargo, which can be easily damaged by rough handling, water and moisture. Steel coil damage can occur for a number of different reasons in transit or before loading.
- Steel coils come in many sizes and weights, and can be arranged in various ways regarding the placement of the locking coil, the number of tiers, and the dunnage.
- At Seafast, we have professionally trained team that carefully evaluates the cargo and plan to lash steel coil to minimize any risks which could be encountered in onward transportation.
- When we are engaged in the stowage and lashing of steel coil on vessels, we monitor the safe handling and loading of the cargo units, give advice on proper stowage and verify that the steel coil units are lashed in a seaworthy manner.
- It is important that adequate load-spreading measures are taken, if so required, to prevent exceeding the maximum permissible loads on a ship’s tank top or hatch covers.
- Our team also gives advice on the type and quantity of lashing materials to be used and on the correct appliance of such lashing materials
