Lashing & Chowking Service

Lashing and chocking are important steps in the transportation of export cargo shipments. These steps ensure that the cargo is secured properly and protected during transit, preventing any damage to the goods or the container.

Lashing involves using straps, chains, or ropes to secure the cargo to the platform or container. The lashing material should be strong enough to withstand the weight and forces of the cargo during transport. The cargo must be lashed tightly to prevent any movement, as shifting cargo can damage the container or cause accidents.

Chocking involves placing wedges or blocks around the cargo to prevent it from moving sideways or backwards. Chocks help to distribute the weight of the cargo evenly and prevent it from shifting during transport. The chocks must be placed in a way that ensures that the cargo is stable and does not move around during transit.

The combination of lashing and chocking provides the necessary stability and support to the cargo during transportation. These steps ensure that the cargo remains in place and does not shift or move around, preventing any damage to the goods or the container.

It is important to ensure that the lashing and chocking procedures are carried out properly, according to the regulations and guidelines set out by the relevant authorities. This ensures the safety of the cargo and prevents any accidents or damage during transportation.
