Navis launches Lashing Monitor to reduce risk of container loss and damage

Navis has launched the Lashing Monitor, designed to proactively monitor various lash conditions that could potentially damage container vessels and alert vessel crews to safety concerns at sea.

The number of container incidents at sea has risen dramatically – on average 1,382 per year according to the World Shipping Council’s 2020 report – which has resulted in significant disruption for the supply chain.

A majority of these incidents are the result of inadequate calculations in addition to heavy weather and unexpected rough seas which has a dramatic effect on the safety of the container stacks on board.
