The IMO requires Cargo Securing Manuals on certain vessels. Which of the following are required to maintain this manual onboard?

🔍 Key Concepts

• IMO Cargo Securing Manual (CSM) requirements under SOLAS • Different risk profiles for Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off), liquid bulk, LNG, and solid bulk cargoes • Why movable/shiftable cargo and vehicle decks present special securing challenges

💭 Think About

• Which vessel types regularly carry many different units of cargo (vehicles, trailers, containers on deck, etc.) that must be individually secured? • Which vessel types usually carry cargo in fixed tanks or holds where the cargo itself is not lashed with chains or lashings in the same way? • Think about where improper lashing and shifting of cargo has historically been a major safety issue leading to specific IMO requirements.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which ship types are explicitly mentioned in IMO guidelines for Cargo Securing Manuals under SOLAS Chapter VI or related circulars • Verify which cargo types are carried in tanks versus on open or enclosed decks/holds needing physical lashings and securing devices • Confirm which option(s) deal with unitized or wheeled cargo rather than free-flowing liquids or gas in tanks
