Question 869 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. The lashings used on Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessels must be capable of withstanding the forces of rolling, pitching, and heaving. These are the three primary types of ship motion that can exert significant forces on cargo and securing systems on Ro-Ro vessels. Proper lashing and securing of cargo is crucial to prevent damage or loss during a voyage, and the lashings must be designed to handle the dynamic forces created by the vessel's movements in all three axes (roll, pitch, and heave). The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not encompass the full range of motion that must be considered when securing cargo on Ro-Ro vessels.
