🔍 Key Concepts

• Wire rope vs chain characteristics in marine environments • Effects of temperature on different lashing materials • Typical advantages and disadvantages of wire rope lashings on Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessels

💭 Think About

• For each statement (A, B, C), ask yourself: Is this generally true for wire rope compared with chain in real shipboard conditions? • Think about how wire rope behaves when exposed to sea air, loading cycles, and temperature changes. • Consider which option, if any, seems exaggerated or clearly not true about wire rope compared with chain.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each option, mentally compare wire rope vs chain on: durability, flexibility, and maintenance needs. • Ask whether temperature can really have no effect at all on metal wire rope. • Consider if wire rope is typically heavier or lighter than chain for the same strength rating.
