Unified Requirements on Preventing the Loss of Seaborne Containers
Year: 2024 Language: English Author: IACS Genre: Textbook Edition: May 2024 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: Multiple Description: In response to the increasing concerns over the number of containers lost at sea in recent years, IACS adopts two new Unified Requirements, UR C6 and UR C7, to enhance the cargo securing arrangements of container ships. Both UR C6 and C7 will be uniformly implemented by IACS Member Societies on ships contracted for construction on or after 1 July 2025. The safe transport of this cargo type poses unique challenges, particularly with regards to stowage and securing of containers on onboard vessels. By mandating lashing software for all seagoing dedicated container ships as an additional means to supplement the container stowage and securing plan, UR C6, ‘Requirements for Lashing Software’, provides harmonised performance standards and requirements. UR C7 defines a comprehensive scope of approval and/or certification for container securing system, encompassing fixed and portable container securing fittings, arrangement plans, drawings of container supporting structures, and cargo safe access plans. With the adoption of UR C6 and C7, IACS further demonstrates its commitment to the safety and reliability of container ship operations, mitigating the risk of accidents and cargo loss, and thus enhancing maritime safety and the protection of the marine environment.
