SSA-CL, which can be attached to the ship’s lashing bridge, is designed to limit the lateral movement of containers. With its implementation, container loss rates could see a decline of up to 70%.
The conceptual design of the SSA-CL has received endorsements from major classification societies, including Norway’s DNV, the US’s ABS, the UK’s LR, and Korea’s KR.
