🔍 Key Concepts

• Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) cargo securing principles for heavy vehicles • Characteristics of chain lashings vs. web straps/wire lashings • What makes a securing method practically inconvenient for frequent use

💭 Think About

• Think about operations on a Ro-Ro deck: vehicles are driven on and off frequently. Which listed drawback would most affect day-to-day handling of lashings by crew? • Compare each option with what you know about chains as a material: which statements are generally true, and which seem exaggerated or less realistic? • Ask yourself which disadvantage would be most noticeable to seafarers physically working with the gear during loading and securing.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, ask: is this really specific to chains, or could it apply to many lashing types? • Consider the practical workload on deck: which drawback would make crew tired faster or slow operations? • Eliminate any option that doesn’t clearly relate to the inherent nature of steel chain (its material and physical properties).
