The route Naantali-Kapellskär-Naantali is within the LWHA (Low Wave Height Area) which means that we accept, in divergence with the standard, only two securing points per side. This means for road trains that each component, i.e. the motor vehicle and each trailer respectively has two (2) securing points per side. Semi-trailer has two (2) securing points per side, a towing coupling at the front of the towing vehicle is sufficient for two lashings.
Vehicles with a total mass less than 3,5 tons do not require securing points. Lashing points should be constructed according to the appropriate standard (for detailed information on this, contact the vehicle manufacturer in question).
