Question 909 Deck General
70% to passWhat should be done immediately after putting down the stern ramp on a Ro-Ro vessel, prior to loading or discharging cargo?
A
Turn on pump room ventilation.
B
Raise/open the stern door.
C
Call out the deck department for all hands.
D
Turn on the red cargo light.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Raise/open the stern door. After lowering the stern ramp on a Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessel, the next immediate step is to raise or open the stern door. This allows for the safe passage of vehicles, cargo, and personnel between the vessel and the dock. Raising the stern door is a critical safety measure to prevent potential falls or accidents. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly address the immediate next step after lowering the stern ramp. Turning on pump room ventilation, calling out the deck department, or turning on a cargo light are not the first priority in this scenario.
