Q

What is used when securing light vehicles aboard Ro-Ro vessels?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ro-Ro vessel (Roll-on/Roll-off) vehicle deck securing practices • Difference between securing heavy trucks vs light vehicles (cars, pickups, vans) • Characteristics of lashing gear: adjustability, ability to tighten, and ease of release in an emergency

💭 Think About

• Think about what kind of securing device allows quick tightening and releasing when loading and discharging many cars in a short time. • Consider which options are more likely to damage a light vehicle’s bodywork or suspension if overtightened, and which are gentler and more adjustable. • Ask yourself what is most commonly seen on car decks of ferries or vehicle carriers when you drive a car on board.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in cargo-handling references what type of lashings are standard for cars on Ro-Ro decks. • Consider which device is designed to be easily operated by hand many times per day by deck crew. • Eliminate any options that are more typical for fixed, very heavy loads rather than frequently moved light vehicles.
