Subj : Is locking required for this scenario

I have a global container (of type List ) which I plan to initialize
during the daemon start up/initialization. During this time period
there will be no reads on this container. Once the daemon is
initialized multiple threads will simultaneously access the container
for reading it's contents (ie it will iterate  through the container
contents). But there will be no modification of the container contents
during this phase. Does this container require synchronisation/locking.
