Since the thinking is that power was lost so that the ship would have been wallowing in troughs, then any stacked up ship would have been in severe danger. Any major company that is stacking them up faces this risk. I wonder how Lloyds charges for those things. Better have very good power. What is a celled containership, and how does that affect safety?

“What is a celled containership, and how does that affect safety?”

A framework throughout the vessel of steel guides/retainers below deck that guide, and hold the containers in position. Keeps them secure below deck. (There are more containers below deck than you see on deck)

The on deck stow is fine under sane circumstances. Joaquin was as insane a circumstance to be in as there is.
