Question 881 Deck General

The correct answer is C) has long life. Chain lashing is preferred for securing heavy vehicles on Ro-Ro vessels because the chain has a long lifespan compared to other lashing materials. Chain is durable, resistant to wear and tear, and can withstand the stresses of ocean transport without failing prematurely. This makes chain lashing an advantageous choice for securing heavy cargo on Ro-Ro ships, where the lashings need to maintain their integrity for the duration of the voyage. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the key advantage of using chain lashing. While chain may have some shock-absorbing properties, its long life is the primary benefit over other lashing materials in this application.
