70% to passWhich lashing material is preferred when securing new cars aboard Ro-Ro vessels?
A
Chain lever or turnbuckle
B
Webbing
C
Wire
D
None of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Webbing. Webbing is the preferred lashing material when securing new cars aboard Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessels because it is less likely to damage the vehicle's finish compared to chain or wire. Webbing straps distribute the tension evenly across the surface, minimizing the risk of marring or scratching the car's paint. In contrast, chain and wire can create concentrated pressure points that could lead to cosmetic damage. Regulations and industry best practices favor the use of webbing for this application to protect the cargo.
