A DNV model manual that gives guidelines and requirements for securing cargo on ships, based on SOLAS and IMO conventions.
The Cargo Securing Model Manual, prepared by Det Norske Veritas, provides a comprehensive framework for the preparation of ship‑specific cargo securing manuals. It references SOLAS chapters VI and VII, IMO guidelines, and DNV rules, and it is intended for ship owners, managers and classification societies.
The document includes general ship data, definitions of cargo securing devices, detailed calculation methods for lashing forces, and supplementary requirements for various vessel types such as RO‑RO ships, bulk carriers and container carriers. Appendices contain example calculations, maintenance logs, and extracts from relevant IMO codes.
