Hi Richard,

Thanks for that, it's very good advice but perhaps you could elaborate a little.
By 'irregular loading' do you mean a mixture of containers in each stack? This is what I was planning to do.
The plans I'm working off show 'lashing' detail, which I assumed were steel cables, from the support pillars to the lower two containers only.
Is a 'bottle screw' a tube with a left and right hand thread?
I've spent a lot of time scouring the web but haven't found any pictures showing container ships in any great detail, can you point me somewhere?

TIA

Scottie
