Atlantic Container Line has not lost a container overboard in over 40 years!
Do you want to take the chance of losing your containers at sea because they were stacked too high?
Not a week goes by without news reports about a carrier losing boxes at sea. Over the last decade, the World Shipping Council estimates that 1,000 containers are lost every year. The South African Maritime Safety Authority says that 200 containers were lost on its coast in July and August of 2024 alone. Bloomberg News estimates that over 1,000 boxes have been lost during the first 8 months of 2024, putting 2024 on track to be one of the worst years ever for container losses at sea.
Atlantic Container Line has implemented a solution that works. Atlantic Container Line has not lost a container at sea in over 40 years. ZERO LOSSES! No carrier on the Atlantic can make that claim.
The solution is simple: NO LASHINGS. Instead, Atlantic Container Line has installed fixed cell guides on deck, identical to the ones under deck. These cell guides add weight to the ship but they provide unmatched safety and security for your containers.
Why are containers lost at sea?
Weather
Winds and storms have been worsening.
Surging Cargo Volume
Loading at a hectic pace raises the risk of safety errors.
Larger Ships
Higher stacks of containers that are lashed on deck.
