The IBC's are small metal devices (sometimes called Twist-Locks also). The first container is loaded into the bottom position in a stack car, then the IBC's are placed into the holes on the 4 cornes of the roof of the bottom box. The second box is set on top and the IBC's snap into the holes in the bottom of the top box. Kind of like snapping 2 Legos together. <br /> <br />When steamship boxes are on a ship, they get IBC's but I've also seen close up photos that showed cables criss-crossed on the end of the box holding them down to the box below. Saw this on a photo of one of the big Maersk boats. Looks closely at the containers on the front row of the ship shown on this link. The containers on the lower-right of the front row have an X visible on them. That's the cables tieing them together. They kind of look like come-alongs (cable winches). http://www.shipphotos.co.uk/pages/laloire.htm
