Question 674 Deck General

70% to pass

The securing systems for containers were developed to prevent container movement during which ship motion?

A Yaw
B Surge
C Roll
D Sway
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Roll. The securing systems for containers are designed to prevent container movement during the ship's rolling motion. Roll is the rotational motion of a ship around its longitudinal axis, which can cause significant lateral forces on the containers. The securing systems, such as lashing and securing points, are engineered to withstand these forces and keep the containers in place during the ship's rolling motion. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the primary purpose of the container securing systems. Yaw is the rotational motion around the vertical axis, surge is the longitudinal motion, and sway is the lateral motion of the ship, which are not the primary concerns that the container securing systems are designed to address.
