Question 891 Deck General

The correct answer is D) Ratchet tensioner. Ratchet tensioners are the appropriate tensioning device used with webbing to secure light vehicles aboard Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessels. Ratchet tensioners allow the webbing to be tightened securely and efficiently to hold the vehicle in place during transport. This is in line with Coast Guard regulations and industry best practices for the safe loading and securing of vehicles on Ro-Ro ships. The other options, such as turnbuckles, chain levers, or Adjust-a-matic tensioners, are not the preferred choice for this application as they may not provide the same level of tension and security required for vehicle lashings on Ro-Ro vessels.
