🔍 Key Concepts

• Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessel cargo motions compared to normal road transport • Importance of securing points on vehicles for effective lashing • Need for cargo on flats, trailers, and in containers to be secured for both road and sea conditions

💭 Think About

• Think about how the motion of a ship at sea (roll, pitch, heave, sway) compares with the motion a vehicle experiences on the highway. Would the securing needs be the same? • Consider what happens if a vehicle has very few or weak lashing points. Can you still safely apply and maintain effective lashings in rough seas? • Ask yourself whether cargo that is already secured for road transport automatically meets the requirements for sea transport, or whether additional considerations are needed.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options emphasize differences between road and sea motions and why that matters for lashing • Check which statements stress the need for sufficient and strong securing points on the vehicles themselves • Confirm which options highlight that cargo in flats, trailers, and containers must be secured for both types of motion, not just one
