Lashing Rods - Container Ship Specific
Lashing rods are high-strength steel components used with turnbuckles to secure freight containers to a container ship’s deck, hatch covers, or lashing bridges. They connect container corner castings to approved securing points and are supplied in vessel-specific lengths and configurations.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Lashing Rods for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
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.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Typically designed and tested in accordance with ISO 3874, the IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing, and the vessel’s approved Cargo Securing Manual under SOLAS. Dimensions, proof loads, breaking loads, and material grades are system- and vessel-specific. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Container securing systems and associated lashing rods may be reviewed or approved for a specific vessel by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, ClassNK, RINA, or other recognized classification societies. Approval is dependent on the design, load rating, testing, and installation arrangement. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Use only the rod type, length, load rating, turnbuckle, and securing point specified in the vessel’s Cargo Securing Manual. Fully engage the rod head in the corner casting, align the rod without side loading, and tension the turnbuckle as prescribed. Do not mix incompatible lashing-system components. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect for bending, cracks, worn hooks, damaged threads, corrosion, and coating loss. Clean and lubricate compatible threaded or articulated parts, maintain identification markings, and replace rods that exceed approved wear or deformation limits. Conduct periodic proof testing when required by the vessel or class. |
| Safety Notes | Never use damaged, unidentified, or incorrectly rated rods. Keep personnel clear of the potential snap-back path while tensioning or releasing lashings. Release tension gradually, use approved handling tools, and follow the Cargo Securing Manual and onboard permit or safety procedures. |
