When loading containers into the cell guides in the hold of a container ship, which statement is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) No further securing is usually required.
When containers are loaded into the cell guides of a container ship's hold, the cell guides themselves provide the primary securing for the containers. The containers are designed to fit snugly into the cell guides, and the cell guides are engineered to hold the containers in place during the voyage. As long as the containers are properly seated within the cell guides, no additional securing such as lashings is typically required.
The other answer choices are incorrect:
A) Containers do not need to be "locked" into the cell guides, as the tight fit provides the necessary securing.
C) Vertical lashings are not required if the containers are properly stowed in the cell guides.
D) Horizontal and vertical lashings are not necessary when containers are loaded into cell guides.
