10 Maintenance of securing arrangements

  10.1 The integrity of the securing arrangements should be maintained throughout the voyage.

  10.2 Particular attention should be paid to the need for tight lashings, grips and clips and to prevent weakening through chafing. Timber cradles, beddings and shorings should be checked.

  10.3 Greasing the thread of clips and turnbuckles increases their holding capacity and prevents corrosion.
