1. Explain how a solid stow and securing of all cargoes maybe achieved?
Cargo stowed in containers must be secured on all sides to prevent shifting, in particular towards the
door. Spaces between packages and/or container walls must be filled. Secure the cargo by using the lashing
points provided on the top and bottom side rails and on the corner posts. Containers should be packed and
cargo secured in accordance with guidelines for packing cargoes other than bulk cargo in or on cargo
transport units (CTUs) for carriage by any means of transport at sea and ashore. Air transport has not been
taken into account. The CTU packing guidelines published by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)
and International Labour Organization (ILO) of 02.05.1997 supersede any previously applicable container
packing guidelines.
