🔍 Key Concepts

• Cargo securing systems used on roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) or vehicle decks • How different types of cargo (bales, pallets, vehicles, crates) are usually lashed or blocked • Specialized fittings, chains, and turnbuckles designed for repeated connection to deck fittings

💭 Think About

• Think about which type of cargo most often needs many identical tie‑down points on a steel deck, in long rows, for fast loading and unloading. • Consider which type of cargo is normally secured with wheel lashings, chains, or web straps rather than dunnage, chocking, or netting. • Ask yourself: which of these cargo types is most likely found in large numbers on a vehicle deck that has built‑in securing points designed for quick connection of specialized gear?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which cargo type is most commonly carried in large, uniform numbers on steel decks with fixed fittings. • Recall which cargo type typically uses wheel lashings, chain/turnbuckle sets, or webbing straps attached to deck fittings. • Eliminate cargo types that are usually secured mainly with blocking, bracing, or dunnage instead of specialized deck-mounted gear.
