Question 896 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All the above. The explanation is as follows: 1) It is necessary for an adequate number of securing points on the vehicles themselves in order that lashings may be properly and safely utilized. This ensures that the vehicle can be securely tied down and that the lashings do not cause any damage to the vehicle. 2) The generally recommended lash angle cannot be greater than 45 degrees relative to the deck in any direction. This is a standard requirement to ensure the lashings are effective in preventing the vehicle from shifting during sea conditions. 3) The securing of cargo on flats and trailers and in containers must be adequate to withstand both road and sea motions. This is a key requirement to ensure the safety of the cargo and the vessel during the voyage. 4) Therefore, all the above statements are true regarding the lashing requirements to secure vehicles aboard Ro-Ro vessels.
