    No, the containers all lock together, and lock to the ship.
    Certain parts are more “structural” and get cross braces, extra tie-downs and stuff.
    Gravity plays a huge part, and there will be a maximum amount of roll/list. But containers should not go anywhere.
    When they do, it’s normally because of incorrectly fitted (or missing) connectors, bad load balance, or because a heavy load inside a container shifted when it shouldn’t. Probably a combination of these things.
