🔍 Key Concepts

• Vehicle deck stability and securing on Ro-Ro vessels • How weight, size, and center of gravity affect vessel stability and lashing arrangements • Basic fire safety requirements for vehicles loaded with fuel

💭 Think About

• Which option deals with factors that directly impact how safely vehicles can be stowed and lashed so they don’t shift in a seaway? • Do Ro-Ro vessels normally require all fuel to be drained from vehicles, or are there standard precautions that allow vehicles to be carried with fuel in their tanks? • Think about which answer reflects practical stability and securing concerns versus something that would be impractical on a working Ro-Ro route.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option considers stability (especially high centers of gravity or heavy units). • Check which choices would be operationally unrealistic for a regular Ro-Ro service. • Confirm which option aligns with proper securing and lashing planning rather than a rigid rule about fuel or brake use.
