description The safety assessment of ship cargo securing systems is of significant importance in preventing casualties, vessel instability, and economic losses resulting from the failure of securing systems during transportation in adverse sea conditions. In this study, an independently designed cylindrical cargo securing scheme with supporting structures was adopted for investigation. Utilizing a sway device, three-degree-of-freedom coupled motion encountered during ship transportation was obtained, and data regarding changes in the support forces at the foundations and tension forces in the lashing ropes were collected. Subsequently, numerical simulations were conducted using the multibody dynamics software ADAMS 2020. The results obtained from the simulations were compared with the experimental data. The overall tendencies were accurately predicted in the numerical analysis. It was observed that the difference of the peak support forces between the numerical simulation results and the experimental data were within a 10% margin. In terms of the lashing ropes, the difference was limited, within 9%. These findings demonstrate that numerical simulation techniques can provide valuable insights for verifying the safety of practical cargo securing systems.
