I agree. I would love to take a summer cruise there. Sailed in Canadian waters in 1977. A wonderful occasion.
Happy modeling Crackers

kirill4 is correct. The containers are all connected to each other by locking devices at the corner posts, and the whole stack is lashed. Even if the route is in sheltered waters for the most part, you have to prepare for the one or two brief stretches of open ocean. ( just off Hecate Strait some of the largest waves ever were recorded by ocean buoys.)

crackers On the Campbell River, Canada, the tug POLAR CLOUD pulls the barge ALASKA TRADER to Alaska. The question, how will the deck cargo on the barge be able to remain in place without falling off during heavy weather ?

Good day,
as I know, containers normaly secured to each other and to the deck with special "locking" devices, non container cargo secured with special slings, quite relaible to keep cargo at place even in case of vessel rolling due to bad wheather...so no risk to fall off during heavy weather...but of couse depend on how heavy is it ... :))) ... actually there are a lot of specialased container vessels sail around the glob ... many of them several times bigger in size than this barge on the picture, and capable to carry on thousands of conteiners...
