Abstract
A new piece of cargo lashing gear is provided which is a load transmitting beam of rectangular structural tubing or other shape having multiple D-rings or other lashing apertures along its length for lashing cargo to the deck of a roll-on roll-off ship through the beam, with indexed aperture connections at each end for removably connecting the apparatus to the ship's deck using a pair of twist locks. With the apparatus, cargo lashing schemes with tighter packing of cargo and faster, more accurate, and safer stevedoring operations are effected according to shoreside prestowage plans. Top and bottom mounting points for twist locks allow easy storage, transport, and shoring.
