Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following is/are TRUE regarding lashing requirements to secure vehicles aboard Ro-Ro vessels?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vehicle lashing practices from the vessel’s Cargo Securing Manual • How securing points on vehicles affect the ability to apply safe lashings • Typical recommended lash angles of lashings relative to the deck (minimum and maximum angles)

💭 Think About

• For choice A, think about what happens if a vehicle has too few or poorly located lashing points. Can lashings still be applied in a safe, effective pattern? • For choice B, consider whether cargo that has already been secured for road transport is automatically sufficient for sea transport, or whether sea motions impose additional demands. • For choice C, recall the usual range of acceptable lashing angles. Is the key concern that angles must not be too shallow, too steep, or both? Does a hard limit of 45° match standard recommendations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether vehicle lashing points must be sufficient in number and strength to allow proper securing in accordance with the ship’s Cargo Securing Manual. • Verify that road-only securing may not account for the higher accelerations and multi-directional motions at sea. • Confirm from standard cargo securing guidance whether the upper limit for recommended lash angle is commonly set at 45° or if some guidance allows angles up to about 60° from the deck.

Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following is/are TRUE regarding lashing requirements to secure vehicles aboard Ro-Ro vessels?

It is necessary for an adequate number of securing points on the vehicles themselves in order that lashings may be properly and safely utilized.

The securing of cargo on flats and trailers and in containers must be adequate to withstand both road and sea motions

The generally recommended lash angle cannot be greater than 45 degrees relative to the deck in any direction.
