ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for securing containers on the deck of a containership. Tower assemblies are provided on either side of a container body. A lowermost tier of containers is engaged by castings and dowels mounted on deck or hatch covers. Cantilevered platforms mounted between vertical tower members pivot outwards to lie atop the containers. Dowels carried on the cantilevered platforms are positioned to engage the bottom locating apertures of the second tier of containers. Similar apparatus is provided for subsequent tiers. The uppermost tier rests upon a cantilevered platform, and also is retained in vertical position by a locking dowel engaging the horizontal locating aperture of the container.
