NOTES
L - See Ch 1, 2.3 Fall protection 2.3.2. For example, see Figure 1.5.3 Outboard working area.
GL - Measured from end of container to inside of fencing.
GT - Measured to inside of fencing.
B - Measured between the centres of the lashing plates.
C1 - Measured from inside of fencing. May be increased where necessary, but not to exceed 1300 mm, provided there is clear indication in the CSM, see Ch 1, 3.10 Lashing bridges 3.10.3.
C2, C3 - Measured from centre of lashing plate to end of container.
F, K - Measured to inside of fencing.
- Measured to inside of fencing.
J - Measured to inside of fencing.
E - Measured to lower end of lashing rod. This may be measured with the lashing rod in the position when the upper end of the rod is being inserted or withdrawn from the container corner casting, i.e. upper and lower ends of the rod at approximately the same transverse distance from the centreline of the vessel. May be waived provided there is clear indication in the CSM and at the lashing position, see Ch 1, 4.12 Lashing equipment 4.12.3.
H - To prevent tripping and to prevent feet becoming trapped in the gap. May be waived provided there is clear indication in the CSAP and at the position, see Ch 1, 4.2 Working areas 4.2.3 and Ch 1, 4.4 Transit areas 4.4.3.
