Always love a 5 minute video packed into 15 minutes.

We use to do this in 3 man teams. Trust m,e, ships do not look this pristine! They are rusted oily and freaken dangerous. two high lashing bars are very heavy and you have to balance them and watch your footing and keep and eye on the penguin (hook you have to insert into the conttianer) it needs to attach to.. Broken foot herniated disks and fracture hip, also dislocated shoulder. Once your body is destroyed, you are then fired and left for dead.

Also thanks for crediting me for the clips you used. I only make videos to help new people to the industry and am glad to see it also used in the way you did.

kudos to the little mentioned humble stevedore. His job is deceivingly dangerous, even deadly at times, i know the feeling. Trust me, 30 yr steel rigger/climber.

The AI forgot to tell us what PMPH stands for.

Kerbal Space Program: This part is moving too much. Cover it in struts! Container ships: This part is moving too much. Cover it in struts!

Clever design. Fascinating.

some people talk really slowly to increase the video time. This just straight up adds space between sentences. I swear the voiced audio can't be longer than 5 minutes.

Whole world economy relies on containers transport and we still have some dangerous and old schools solutions, this is amazing. And we want go to Mars.

I had occasion to be on a container ship while it was loading. The two lashers were incedible. Working in unision, they applied the lashings without falling behind. The noise was deafening, very loud. I wonder how a person would know if a stack was collapsing. I discovered, during the short time i was on deck, there was a distinct noise pattern indicating a successful placement. Also, the ship's crew, every 2/3 days, while the ship is underway, are required to inspect lashings and remove the slack

This was a cool video, I enjoyed the "how it's made" feel of the twist lock maintenance section.
