According to the IMO Code, what are the minimum number of securing points that should be on each side of a "road vehicle", whose gross vehicle mass is between 20 tons and 30 tons, when carried on Ro-Ro vessels?

A One
B Two
C Three
D None of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Three. According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing (CSS Code), the minimum number of securing points required for a "road vehicle" (such as a truck or trailer) with a gross vehicle mass between 20 tons and 30 tons, when carried on a Ro-Ro vessel, is three on each side of the vehicle. This is specified in the CSS Code to ensure the proper securing and stability of these larger vehicles during sea transport. The other options are incorrect because one securing point (A) would be insufficient, and having no securing points (D) would be unsafe and against the IMO regulations. Two securing points (B) would not meet the minimum requirement outlined in the CSS Code for vehicles in this weight range.
