Question 912 Deck General
70% to passWhich of the following actions are stated in the correct order prior to loading or discharging cargo on a Ro-Ro vessel?
The correct answer is D) Lower the stern ramp, raise/open the stern door, turn on ventilation for cargo holds. This is the correct sequence because it follows the standard procedure for loading and discharging cargo on a Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessel. First, the stern ramp is lowered to allow vehicles and cargo to be driven on or off the ship. Next, the stern door is raised/opened to provide access. Finally, the ventilation for the cargo holds is turned on to ensure proper airflow and safety during the cargo operations. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the proper order of operations. For example, option A starts by raising/opening the stern door before lowering the ramp, which is not the correct sequence.
