ClassNK establishes new standards to enhance the safety and loading capacity of container ships

ClassNK has released new guidelines for those involved in container shipping, aiming to enhance the efficiency of container stowage while ensuring safety measures  such as preventing cargo collapse. These guidelines apply the latest expertise in weather forecasting, ship motion, and digital twin technologies.



The newly released 'Guidelines for the Safety of Maritime Cargo Based on Weather Forecasts,' 'Guidelines for Anti-Rolling Devices,' and 'Guidelines for Container Stowage and Securing Arrangements (Edition 3.3)' enable safer and higher-capacity container shipping by optimizing stowage based on weather forecasts for short-term voyages, and by taking advantage of the roll reduction effects of anti-rolling devices.

The guidelines are available for download via ‘Guidelines’ of My Page on ClassNK’s website after registration.
