Which lashing device(s) would be used in securing heavy vehicles aboard Ro-Ro vessels?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessel cargo securing practices for heavy road vehicles • Differences between webbing straps, chains, and tensioning devices (buckles/ratchets) • Typical requirements for securing heavy vs. light cargo on vehicle decks

💭 Think About

• Think about which types of lashings provide enough strength and minimal stretch for heavy vehicles in a seaway. • Consider what role a buckle or ratchet tensioner actually plays in a lashing system: is it the lashing itself, or part of another device? • Ask yourself whether the question is about a single most appropriate device or about all equipment that may be involved in securing.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which lashing material is most commonly specified for heavy vehicles (high breaking strength, low elasticity). • Check whether webbing is usually recommended for very heavy vehicles or more for lighter vehicles and trailers. • Confirm whether a buckle/ratchet tensioner alone is considered a lashing device, or a component used with another lashing (webbing or chain).
