Lashing Bars - Container Ship Specific
Lashing bars, also called lashing rods, are high-strength steel securing components used to restrain freight containers on container ships. They connect container corner castings to deck, hatch-cover or lashing-bridge securing points through compatible turnbuckles.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Lashing Bars for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.
