Interbridge Fittings - Container Ship Specific
Interbridge fittings are container-securing devices that connect the upper corner castings of adjacent freight containers on deck. They limit relative transverse or longitudinal movement and supplement the vessel's approved lashing arrangement.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Interbridge Fittings for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

|---|---|
| Class Approval | Design or type approval is manufacturer- and model-specific. Marine interbridge fittings may be approved or accepted by societies such as DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas or ClassNK when included in an approved container securing system. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install only at positions specified by the vessel's Cargo Securing Manual. Engage both hooks fully in undamaged top corner castings, adjust to the correct span, tighten securely and verify that the fitting is not side-loaded or obstructed. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect hooks, threads, welds and body for deformation, cracks, corrosion and wear. Clean and lubricate threaded sections with a suitable marine lubricant. Remove damaged or seized fittings from service and store them dry when not in use. |
| Safety Notes | Do not exceed the maker's rated load or use the fitting as a lifting device. Keep hands clear while tightening, use approved access and fall protection on container tops, and never substitute it for twistlocks or lashings required by the approved securing plan. |
