Question 915 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Notify engine room, lower the ramp, start ventilation. This sequence is the proper procedure before commencing cargo operations aboard Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessels, as per the regulations and best practices. First, the engine room must be notified to ensure the necessary ventilation systems are prepared and ready. Next, the ramp is lowered to allow vehicles and cargo to be loaded. Finally, the ventilation system is started to provide proper air circulation and prevent the buildup of hazardous fumes. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the proper sequence. For example, starting the ventilation before notifying the engine room could result in insufficient ventilation, and lowering the ramp before notifying the engine room could pose safety risks.
