The technical basis for calculating the required strength of securing points for a specific cargo type relies on principles of physics and naval architecture, considering the forces that the cargo will experience during transit due to the ship's motions and sea conditions. These forces are typically calculated based on the cargo's weight, the ship's acceleration in various directions (longitudinal, transverse, and vertical), and safety factors to account for uncertainties. The calculation begins by determining the maximum expected accelerations the cargo will experience. These accelerations are estimated using emp....
