Question 873 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Chain. Chain is the most commonly used lashing device for securing heavy vehicles aboard Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessels. Chain provides the necessary strength and durability to firmly secure large, heavy cargo like vehicles during transport. Regulations and industry standards specifically recommend the use of chain lashings for this purpose, as they can withstand the significant forces and movements experienced by vehicles on a Ro-Ro vessel. While webbing (A) and buckle/ratchet tensioners (C) may be used for lighter cargo, they would not offer the same level of security and load-bearing capacity required for heavy vehicles. Chain lashings are the preferred and most appropriate choice for this application.
