🔍 Key Concepts
• Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) cargo lashing gear must be protected from damage, corrosion, and becoming a tripping hazard when not in use
• Good stowage keeps lashings organized, quickly accessible, and safely secured so they don’t swing, shift, or foul cargo/vehicles
• Examine whether each choice describes a method that would keep gear secure, sheltered, and ready for rapid use in an emergency or during loading
đź’ Think About
• For each option, ask: Would this method prevent the gear from being a tripping hazard or getting damaged by weather or cargo?
• Does this storage method keep the gear secure and orderly, or could it swing loose, get run over, or interfere with vehicle movement?
• In real Ro-Ro operations, is it useful to have multiple acceptable storage arrangements (depending on ship design), or is there usually only one correct method?
âś… Before You Answer
• Check whether each option describes the gear being secured (not loose on deck)
• Check whether each option provides some protection from damage and weather or from being crushed by vehicles/cargo
• Consider if Ro-Ro ships might use combinations of methods (e.g., hanging, bins, brackets) to suit different deck layouts and gear types
