🔍 Key Concepts

• Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) cargo securing principles • Difference between fixed ship-related factors vs. variable cargo-related factors • How cargo weight distribution and stability influence lashing needs

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which option can change from one vehicle or cargo unit to another on the same voyage, directly affecting how many lashings are needed? • Which factor will most strongly influence how easily a vehicle or cargo unit might tip or shift under acceleration and rolling? • Which choices are more about the ship or environment in general, versus the specific behavior of each individual vehicle or cargo unit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which factor directly affects the stability of the individual cargo unit on deck or in the garage space. • Eliminate options that are more about overall ship condition (like draft) rather than the securing of a single vehicle or unit. • Focus on the factor that changes how high or low the mass is distributed within the vehicle or cargo unit, impacting its tendency to move.
