Definition & Explanation

In the run-up to departure, ships' officers, the shipping line, and cargo-securing specialists jointly assess what risks the secured cargo may pose on the planned voyage – this is the core purpose of lashing risk evaluation for maritime transport. The process systematically examines whether calculated lashing points can withstand the dynamic forces expected at sea, what the consequences of a lashing failure or cargo shift would be, and how likely those scenarios are on the intended route. Key references include the IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing (CSS Code) and vessel-specific stability documentation. The outcome determines whether cargo may be shipped in its current securing configuration or whether remedial action is required before sailing. Unlike a straightforward lashing point calculation, the risk evaluation also incorporates operational factors such as crew experience, the feasibility of in-voyage checks, and anticipated weather conditions along the route.
