Cargo Restraint Systems wins 2018 Mercury Award
“Transport Solution of the Year: SEA” with CornerLash
In 2017 Cordstrap launched CornerLash. CornerLash is a breakthrough solution for securing heaving cargos inside shipping containers.
CornerLash utilizes the strongest part of the container, the corner posts. Click-in lashing points rated at 3000kg can be installed in seconds. These specially engineered click-in lashing points now make it possible to secure cargo of up to 30ton in less than 10 minutes in a consistent manner, creating a total cost of ownership.
We are very proud on CornerLash winning the Mercury Award for being the most innovative solution for Sea Transport 2018.

Beautiful recognition
Winning this award is a beautiful recognition of the accomplishment of Cargo Restraint Systems to be recognised as one of the main cargo securing specialists and innovators in Australia. In her Thank You speech, Astrid emphasized the importance of securing cargo and how Australian companies often choose not to secure cargo due to cost- and time restraints. She pointed out that Cordstrap’s and Cargo Restraint Systems’ innovative solutions are proof that securing cargo can be done safe, fast and cost-efficient, keeping Australia’s and the world’s cargo safe.
