Both lashing and choking are done to reduce and nullify the possible damage to the goods in the container during transit. It is a crucially important step before any transportation is performed and any shortcoming or mistakes could result in damaged cargoes, damage of containers, delayed transportation, etc.

Cargo choking is done using heavy wooden blocks or logs in different sizes and weight to give support to the base of the goods. This ensures that cargoes are secured onto the surface and cannot be detached during transportation. Thus the cargoes will be safe and free from damage upon arrival.
