Which tensioning device is used with wire rope lashing to secure vehicles aboard Ro-Ro vessels?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Adjust-a-matic tensioner.
The adjust-a-matic tensioner is the appropriate tensioning device used with wire rope lashing to secure vehicles aboard Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessels. This type of tensioner allows the operator to easily adjust the tension in the wire rope lashings, which is crucial for maintaining the proper securement of vehicles during the voyage.
The other options are not the correct devices for this application. Chain levers (A) are typically used for chain lashings, not wire rope. Ratchet tensioners (C) and buckle tensioners (D) are also not the preferred choice for wire rope lashings on Ro-Ro vessels.
