Question 880 Deck General
70% to passWhat may NOT be used when securing heavy vehicles aboard Ro-Ro vessels?
The correct answer is C) Webbing. Webbing is not an appropriate method for securing heavy vehicles aboard Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessels. Regulations require the use of chain, turnbuckles, or other sturdy, non-deformable materials to safely secure heavy cargo on Ro-Ro ships. Webbing, while suitable for some applications, lacks the necessary strength and durability to properly restrain the movement of heavy vehicles during transport by sea. The other answer choices - chain, chain lever, and turnbuckle - are all acceptable methods for securing heavy vehicles on Ro-Ro vessels, as they provide the necessary strength and rigidity to prevent shifting or sliding of the cargo.
