Supervision and Lashing, Securing, and Stowage Certificates for Heavy Cargo in Fos-sur-Mer and Sète

The lashing and securing certificate is an official document that certifies the cargo has been properly lashed and secured aboard a vessel, in accordance with maritime safety standards. Securing refers to the techniques used to fix the cargo in a stable and secure manner to prevent any movement during transport, which could compromise the safety of the ship, the crew, or the cargo itself.

Lashing specifically refers to the use of straps, cables, chains, or other securing devices to hold the cargo in place. The certificate ensures that the materials and methods used for securing the cargo comply with international requirements, such as those set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) conventions.

In summary, the lashing and securing certificate guarantees that the cargo is properly secured on board to minimize the risk of damage or accidents during maritime transport. It is often required during a ship inspection before departure or to meet regulatory obligations.
