Cargo Lashing and Securing Services in Vietnam

SVC Marine carries out cargo lashing and securing work in Vietnam for project cargo, heavy equipment, steel cargo, breakbulk cargo, machinery, industrial cargoes and oversized shipments.

SVC Marine has a lashing workforce of nearly 200 people operating around the Son Duong – Vung Ang area. Our team handles real cargo securing work at port, yard, vessel side and industrial cargo areas, including manpower, tools, lashing materials, dunnage, chocking, tightening, welding-related securing work where permitted, photo records and job reporting.

Cargo lashing is not paperwork. It is field execution. The cargo must be secured properly before sea passage, accepted by the vessel side where required, and completed within the loading window without causing delay, cargo damage or safety risk.

For cargo lashing, securing and project cargo operation enquiries in Vietnam, please contact our shipping desk at shipping@svcmarine.com.

Our Lashing Team in Son Duong and Vung Ang

SVC Marine’s cargo lashing capacity is built around our field team in the Son Duong – Vung Ang area. With nearly 200 lashing workers available around this industrial and port zone, we can handle selected large cargo operations that require more than a few workers and simple manual work.

This manpower base is important for cargoes that require fast mobilization, long working hours, multiple cargo units, steel cargo, heavy equipment, jumbo cargo, breakbulk parcels, project cargo, yard preparation, port loading or vessel-side securing work.

Our local lashing team can be deployed depending on:

Job location and port access
Cargo type and cargo quantity
Working date and urgency
Required manpower
Lashing material requirement
Hot work permission, if welding-related securing is required
Vessel, terminal and safety rules
Surveyor, master or chief officer requirement

Why Proper Cargo Securing Matters

During sea passage, cargo is exposed to vessel motion, rolling, pitching, vibration, acceleration, weather and sea conditions. Cargo that looks stable during loading may still shift during the voyage if the securing method is not strong enough.

Poor cargo securing can lead to:

Cargo shifting during sea passage
Cargo damage or total loss
Damage to vessel deck, hatch cover or hold structure
Damage to nearby cargo
Loading delay or re-lashing work
Master or surveyor rejection before sailing
Insurance dispute
Additional port cost
Vessel safety risk
Commercial dispute between cargo owner, shipowner, charterer and logistics provider

For project cargo, heavy equipment, steel and breakbulk cargo, lashing and securing should be reviewed before cargo arrives at the loading area, not after the cargo is already on board.

Common Cargo Securing Methods

The correct securing method depends on cargo type, vessel arrangement, cargo weight, stowage location, voyage route and expected sea condition.

Depending on the cargo and vessel, SVC Marine may carry out:

Chain lashing
Wire rope lashing
Turnbuckle tightening
Shackle and hook installation
Webbing strap use where suitable
Dunnage placement
Timber chocking
Wedge and stopper work
Welding-related sea fastening where permitted
Anti-slip material placement
Edge protection and contact protection
Re-lashing and tightening before sailing where required

For complex project cargo or heavy lift cargo, the securing method should be reviewed with cargo details, vessel stowage plan, lifting method, voyage condition and surveyor or master requirement where applicable.

Lashing and Securing for Project Cargo

Project cargo often requires more detailed lashing and securing work than normal general cargo. The cargo may have special lifting points, sensitive surfaces, uneven base, high center of gravity or limited securing points.

SVC Marine carries out project cargo securing work for selected equipment, machinery, fabricated structures, industrial units and oversized cargoes shipped from Vietnam.

Important project cargo securing points include:

Cargo weight and dimensions
Center of gravity
Base footprint and contact area
Available lashing and securing points
Deck or hold stowage
Sensitivity to welding, heat or contact damage
Dunnage and chocking requirement
Expected vessel motion during voyage
Surveyor, master or chief officer requirement
Discharge port handling method

Lashing and Securing for Heavy Equipment

Heavy equipment such as construction machinery, industrial machinery, vehicles, port equipment and shipyard-related equipment must be secured carefully before sea passage. These cargoes may have high weight, uneven load distribution, hydraulic components, moving parts, rubber tires, tracks, protruding parts or limited securing points.

SVC Marine mobilizes our local lashing team for selected heavy equipment shipments from Vietnam, including dunnage, chocking, chain lashing, wire lashing, welding-related securing work where permitted, protection of sensitive parts and vessel-side follow-up.

Heavy equipment securing may require:

Wheel or track chocking
Chain lashing to strong securing points
Protection of hydraulic hoses, glass, cabin and sensitive parts
Battery isolation or fuel-related precautions where required
Securing of movable parts, booms, arms or attachments
Verification of cargo weight and center of gravity
Review with crane, trailer and loading team

For equipment shipment services, please visit our Heavy Equipment Shipping from Vietnam page.

Lashing and Securing for Steel and Breakbulk Cargo

Steel cargo and breakbulk cargo require careful stowage and securing to prevent shifting, rolling, contact damage, deformation or damage to the vessel. Steel structures, pipes, plates, coils, bundles and fabricated units may require dunnage, separation, chocking, chain lashing, wire lashing or welding-related securing work depending on cargo form and stowage location.

SVC Marine carries out selected steel and breakbulk cargo securing work in Vietnam with our local lashing team, field supervisors and marine operation experience.

For steel and breakbulk cargoes, key points include:

Cargo weight per unit or bundle
Contact surface and cargo shape
Risk of rolling, sliding or shifting
Dunnage and separation requirement
Protection against contact damage
Lashing point availability
Stowage inside hold or on deck
Weather exposure during loading or voyage

Materials, Manpower and Work Planning

A lashing job can fail if manpower, tools or materials are not prepared early. Before the job starts, SVC Marine reviews the cargo details, working place, expected loading sequence, vessel requirements and material needs.

Depending on the job, preparation may include:

Lashing workers
Field supervisor
Chains, wires, shackles, hooks and turnbuckles
Dunnage and timber chocking
Welding-related tools where hot work is permitted
Cutting, fitting or fabrication tools where required
Personal protective equipment
Photo record and reporting method
Surveyor or vessel-side inspection timing

For larger cargo operations in Son Duong and Vung Ang, our nearly 200-person lashing workforce gives SVC Marine a practical manpower base for urgent or high-volume cargo securing work.

Working with Master, Chief Officer and Surveyor

For vessel shipment, cargo securing must be acceptable to the vessel side. The master, chief officer, owner representative or cargo surveyor may require certain securing methods before sailing. In some cases, lashing work must be adjusted after cargo is placed on board.

SVC Marine attends the job, checks practical vessel-side requirements and keeps the cargo securing work aligned with master, chief officer, surveyor and client requirements where applicable.

Work may include:

Checking cargo securing requirement before loading
Checking available lashing points and stowage location
Mobilizing lashing workers and tools
Preparing materials where available
Following master or chief officer comments
Following surveyor comments where required
Taking photo records during and after the job
Reporting work status to the client

Information Required for Cargo Lashing Quotation

To quote cargo lashing and securing work properly, cargo details must be clear. Without cargo dimensions, weight, photos and loading plan, it is difficult to estimate manpower, materials, welding requirement, securing method, working time and cost.

For cargo lashing and securing enquiries, please prepare the following information:

Cargo name and description
Number of units, packages or bundles
Dimensions of each unit
Gross weight of each unit
Total cargo weight
Photos, drawings or packing list
Center of gravity information, if available
Lifting points and securing points, if available
Stowage location: hold, deck, flat rack or other position
Vessel name and ETA, if available
Port, yard or factory location
Loading date or expected working date
Whether welding or hot work is allowed
Whether dunnage, chains, wires, shackles or turnbuckles are required
Whether surveyor approval or report is required

Please send lashing and securing enquiries to shipping@svcmarine.com.

Operational Risks in Cargo Lashing and Securing

Cargo lashing and securing work can fail if the job starts too late or if cargo information is incomplete. A lashing team cannot prepare properly if cargo dimensions, weight, securing points, stowage location and working condition are unclear.

Common risks include:

Insufficient lashing material
Wrong securing method
Insufficient dunnage or chocking
Cargo securing points not suitable
Hot work not allowed or not prepared
Lashing team mobilized too late
Vessel side rejects the securing method
Surveyor requires additional securing
Delay due to unclear responsibility for lashing cost
Cargo damage due to contact, welding, edge pressure or wrong securing force
Weather or port working restriction

These risks can be reduced if lashing and securing requirements are reviewed before cargo delivery and before vessel loading starts.

Port Captaincy and Cargo Operation Attendance

For larger cargo operations, port captaincy attendance may be useful where vessel-side, cargo-side and lashing-side execution must be followed closely.

SVC Marine attends selected loading or discharge operations in Vietnam through port captaincy attendance, cargo operation reporting, draft survey or bunker survey work, vessel-side communication and practical follow-up with agents, stevedores, surveyors, crane operators, lashing team and cargo interests.

For related vessel and cargo operation attendance, please visit our Port Captaincy & Bunker Survey Services in Vietnam page.
