🔍 Key Concepts

• Properties and typical uses of web (fabric) lashings versus chain or wire lashings • Common environmental and mechanical hazards that can weaken or damage webbing on deck • How multiple separate weaknesses are sometimes combined in exam answers

💭 Think About

• Think about what web lashings are made of and how those materials react to sunlight, abrasion, and contact with sharp edges. • Consider whether web lashings are more or less attractive for theft or tampering compared to heavier metal lashings. • Ask yourself: Is this question pointing to one main drawback, or is it highlighting that web lashings may have several different vulnerabilities at once?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which of the listed problems (UV/sunlight, sharp edges, damage/pilferage) are realistically true for synthetic webbing used at sea. • Verify whether web lashings can be easily cut, removed, or damaged compared to chains or wires. • Before choosing, ask: does any option exclude a disadvantage that I know is genuinely associated with web lashings?
