CodeCTU CodeIssued byIMO / ILO / UNECEFieldPacking & securing

What it covers

Responsibilities in the supply chain, CTU suitability checks, packing and securing principles, accelerations to design for, documentation.

Key points for fabricators

Distribute the load evenly and keep the centre of gravity near the middle.
Block or lash cargo so it cannot move; fill voids.

How PEB Studio supports it

The loading planner checks payload, door and roof clearance and centre of gravity; securing is recorded in the container packing report. The plan is a planning aid, not a lashing certificate.
