🔍 Key Concepts

• Stiff ship vs tender ship and what a short, quick rolling period means in terms of motion • How rapid, jerky rolling affects cargo lashings and securing arrangements • Direction of roll: transverse (side to side) vs longitudinal (fore-and-aft) movement of cargo

💭 Think About

• Think about how a stiff ship actually moves in a seaway: is the roll slow and gentle, or quick and snappy? How would that motion stress the cargo and its lashings? • Which direction does rolling happen: does the vessel roll from side to side or surge/back/forward? How would that influence the direction a poorly secured cargo might move? • If the ship is rolling quickly, would lashings be more or less likely to stay tight? What happens to cargo when lashings get worked loose by rapid motion?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between transverse (athwartship) and longitudinal (fore-and-aft) movement • Consider whether any sea condition can lead to cargo being totally unaffected by ship motion • Think about whether a very quick roll would help keep lashings tight or might work and slacken them over time
