Question 903 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. The Cargo Securing Manual must take into account the weight of the vehicles, the geographical area of the voyage, and the dynamic forces under adverse weather conditions. These elements are critical to ensure the proper securing and stowage of cargo on board a vessel to prevent shifting, damage, or loss of cargo during the voyage. Failing to consider any of these factors could compromise the safety of the vessel, crew, and cargo. The other options are incomplete, as they only address individual elements rather than the comprehensive factors that need to be considered in the preparation of the Cargo Securing Manual.
