ABSTRACT:
A tensioning assembly is provided for providing and maintaining a desired tension on a cable lashing for use in securing a container on board a container ship. The assembly includes a pair of mutually-engaging linking members, a separate and removable set of hydraulic jacks for pulling the linking members together to thereby provide a tension to a cable lashing connected to the linking members, and a set of one or more locking wedges for locking the linking members in a position of relative displacement, to thereby maintain the tension on the cable. Once locked, the hydraulic jacks may be detached and used for tensioning additional cable lashings. The lashing assembly thus provides an inexpensive and reliable mechanism for quickly setting the desired tension of a cable lashing and for maintaining that tension. No special tools or special skills are required to operate the assembly.
