You are inspecting the lashing of OOG cargo. The net mass of the unit is 24 tons, weight = m*g = 24t*10 = 240 kN. The unit is lashed using web slings with orange lashings of total 11 lashings. Each lashing is 8000 daN (equal to 80 kN) break load. Lashing MSL is considered 1/2 of the break load. Please assess the lashing system proposed for transportation.
