Q

Which of the following lashing gear used aboard Ro-Ro vessels should be stowed when not in use?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ro-Ro vessel lashing gear types and their common hazards when left loose • Why loose securing equipment on vehicle decks is dangerous in a seaway • Good seamanship and stowage of gear not in use

💭 Think About

• Think about what can happen to each type of lashing (wire, webbing, chain) if it is left lying loose on a vehicle deck in rough weather. • Consider whether any of these items become a tripping or snagging hazard for people, vehicles, or cargo when not properly stowed. • Ask yourself if safety practice focuses on just one material, or on the general principle of keeping all loose gear properly secured.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which items listed are considered loose gear when not connected and under tension. • Consider if any of these materials are exempt from normal stowage rules or if all require proper storage when idle. • Remember that on Ro-Ro decks, anything that can move becomes a hazard in rolling or pitching seas.
