Bureau Veritas (BV) is to launch Lashing WW, a voluntary notation that opens up more flexible stowage on container ships through revised calculations from the international class society's research into ships in service. The notation is due to be launched on 1 July, BV's marine technical director, Jean-Francois Segretain, told IHS Maritime. Lashing WW can be used on ships fitted with an approved lashing computer that can calculate container stack weights and required lashing using acceleration levels corresponding to the ship's loading condition and geographical area of operation.
