Deck General USCG Question #818 (Set 25)

Which standard operating procedure(s) should be adhered to on a Ro-Ro vessel?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Periodic inspection and retensioning of lashings as required during voyage

Due to vessel motions and dynamic forces at sea, cargo lashings on Ro-Ro vessels stretch or loosen. Regular inspections and scheduled retensioning of lashings throughout the voyage are critical standard operating procedures mandated by cargo securing manuals to prevent catastrophic cargo shift.
