Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• In your article on load restraint straps, my attention was drawn to the photograph on page 29 (CM 11-18 June).

The restraint strap, fourth from the left, is attached by a sheeting hook. Surely this is a serious error — or is this deliberate? I have always thought these hooks are solely for sheeting purposes and are not load tested as are purpose-made lashing points.

I have seen several instances of these hooks breaking off under the strain of ordinary ropes, let alone straps.
