🔍 Key Concepts

• IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing (CSS Code) – section dealing with road vehicles and trailers on Ro-Ro ships • How gross vehicle mass (GVM) ranges affect the number of securing points required • Difference between securing points on the vehicle and lashings actually applied

💭 Think About

• Look at how the IMO Code scales securing requirements as vehicle weight increases: does a heavier vehicle need more or fewer securing points? • Consider whether the question is asking about minimum securing points per side on the vehicle or the number of lashings used to secure it to the deck. • Think about why the IMO would specify a different number of securing points for vehicles below 3.5 tons, between 3.5–20 tons, and above 20 tons.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the IMO CSS Code table for ‘Road vehicles on Ro-Ro ships’ the row where GVM is >3.5 t and ≤20 t. • Check the column that specifically states “minimum number of securing points on each side” (not total points). • Confirm you are not mixing up securing points on the vehicle with the number of lashings actually used in a seagoing condition.
