Maritime tie-down

Maritime tie-down refers to the process of securely fastening cargo or equipment on a vessel to prevent movement during transit. Using specialized straps, chains, or bracing systems, these tie-downs ensure that goods stay in place despite the ship’s motion caused by waves, wind, and maneuvers. Proper maritime tie-downs are vital for safety, preventing damage to cargo and the vessel, and complying with regulations. They are designed to withstand the environmental stresses at sea, maintaining stability and security throughout the voyage.
