The present disclosure provides a load-securement apparatus and a method of installing the load-securement apparatus to secure a load in a shipping container. In one embodiment, the load-securement apparatus includes a first non-rigid anchor member, a second non-rigid anchor member, a first non-rigid load restrainer, and a second non-rigid load restrainer. In one embodiment, the method of installing the load-securement apparatus comprises attaching the first load restrainer to the first anchor member, attaching the first anchor member to the shipping container adjacent a side wall, attaching the second load restrainer to the second anchor member, attaching the second anchor member to the shipping container adjacent another side wall, attaching the first load restrainer to the second load restrainer such that part of the first load restrainer and part of the second load restrainer both contact the load, and tensioning the attached first and second load restrainers to a designated tension.

A process for lashing containers with a power tool, a lashing rod (2) connectable to a container and a turnbuckle (1) connectable to a container transport vehicle. The turnbuckle comprises a first connection part (14) connectable to the lashing rod and second connection part (15) connectable to the container transport vehicle, the turnbuckle being rotatable around it's longitudinal axis (L). At least one of the connection parts comprises a tensioning part (144) for tensioning the lashing rod by adapting the overall length of the turnbuckle and lashing rod. The tensioning part is driven by a drive part (145) which is operated by a power tool. For lashing a container the turnbuckle is connected to the container transport vehicle and the lashing rod, which is connected to the container. The turnbuckle is rotated until the drive part is accessible by the power tool. Then, the drive part is driven by the power tool.

The invention relates to a transportation system (100) for transportation of large items (2), such as flanges, wherein said transportation system comprises: a frame (4) having an extension in a longitudinal direction (X), in a transversal direction (Y) and in a vertical direction (Z); wherein said frame comprises two longitudinal girders (6,6), which are connected to a plurality of pairs of transversal primary support beams (8,8, 10,10); wherein said primary support beams preferably are being arranged on an upper part of said longitudinal girders (6,6); wherein said longitudinal girders comprise a lower surface (12) and an upper surface (14); wherein said transversal primary support beams comprise an upper surface (16); wherein the area between two transversal primary support beams defines a storage area (18) for said large items; wherein free access in a downward direction is provided in the storage area (18) for the large items; wherein the lower part of the frame (4) is having dimensions and locking mechanisms corresponding to a freight container; thereby allowing the transportation system to be arranged and locked in place safely on top of a freight container.

A canoe outrigger with built-in, covered, storage capacity. Unlike a typical pontoon type outrigger, this device is a miniature canoe form that has an open interior. The top of the outrigger has three doors allowing for storage and access within the form that holds many supplies, such as camping and fishing gear, food, water and other items. The outrigger is connected to a canoe, or other small boat, by a pair of telescoping arms. Each arm has clamps that secure the arms the gunwales of the vessel. The other end of each arm is bolted into position on the outrigger. In this way, the outrigger is securely attached for use.

A watercraft is provided with a watercraft body and a storage container. The watercraft body includes a hull and a deck. The deck is provided on the hull. The storage container is attached to the watercraft body. The storage container includes an access opening and an annular sidewall. The access opening opens upward relative to the deck. The annular sidewall has an upper end, a lower end and an interior storage space between the upper end and the lower end. The lower end of the annular sidewall defines a bottom opening with a cross sectional area that is larger than a cross sectional area of the upper end of the annular sidewall.
