Question 862 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. On a Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessel, it is critical to adhere to the following operating procedures: 1) One officer should be assigned to oversee the initial loading and lashing of cargo to ensure it is done properly. This helps prevent cargo shift during the voyage. 2) All lashings must be completed before leaving port. Incomplete lashing can lead to cargo movement and instability. 3) Periodic inspection and retensioning of lashings during the voyage is necessary, as lashings may loosen over time due to vessel motion. Adhering to all of these procedures is required to maintain the stability and safety of a Ro-Ro vessel and its cargo.
