When loading containers into the cell guides in the hold of a container ship, which statement is TRUE?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Cell guides function as built-in vertical restraints for containers in a ship’s hold • Difference between hold stowage (in cell guides) and on-deck stowage of containers • When and why additional lashings or twist locks are needed beyond the structure of the ship

💭 Think About

• Think about what the steel cell guides physically do to the container on all four sides—what types of movement do they prevent? • Compare the securing needs of a container in a tight steel guide versus one sitting on deck: which needs more external lashings, and why? • Ask yourself: if a container is properly lowered into a cell guide, what is normally done next before moving on to the next box?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what cell guides are designed to do: they provide continuous vertical guidance and lateral support • Consider whether containers in cell guides are normally individually lashed inside the hold in standard liner trades • Check which choice describes the usual practice for containers in cell guides, not special or extreme-weather cases
