Deck General USCG Q#807 (Set 25)

Which lashing gear used aboard Ro-Ro vessels should be painted or soaked in oil when not in use?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Chain

Chains used as lashing gear aboard Ro-Ro vessels are susceptible to corrosion and wear; therefore, good seamanship and cargo-securing manuals dictate they should be painted or soaked in oil when not actively in use.
