Question 867 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. The securing of passenger cars on a Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessel requires specialized equipment that is both low labor intensive and designed to avoid vehicle damage. This is due to the need to quickly and securely lash down a large number of vehicles on the open decks of a Ro-Ro vessel, while also protecting the vehicles from the forces encountered at sea. The equipment used is typically lightweight but sturdy, allowing for efficient loading and unloading operations. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully capture the requirements for securing vehicles on a Ro-Ro vessel, which necessitates a combination of low labor, specialized design, and lightweight equipment.
