Question 863 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Periodic inspection and retensioning of lashings as required during voyage. On Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessels, the proper securing and monitoring of cargo lashings is a critical safety procedure. Regulations require that lashings be inspected and retensioned as needed throughout the voyage to ensure the cargo remains securely in place. This is necessary to prevent cargo shift, which could destabilize the vessel. The other options, while potentially relevant in other contexts, do not specifically address the key safety concern for Ro-Ro operations. Adhering to the lashing inspection and retensioning protocol is the primary standard operating procedure that must be followed on these types of vessels.
