According to the IMO Code, what are the minimum number of securing points that should be on each side of a "road vehicle", whose gross vehicle mass is between 30 tons and 40 tons, when carried on Ro-Ro vessels?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Four.
According to the IMO (International Maritime Organization) Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing, for "road vehicles" (such as trucks or buses) with a gross vehicle mass between 30 and 40 tons, the minimum number of securing points required on each side of the vehicle is four. This ensures that the vehicle is properly secured and prevented from shifting or moving during the voyage on a Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessel.
The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the IMO requirement for this weight class of vehicles. One, two, or three securing points would not provide sufficient stability and safety for the transport of these heavier road vehicles on a Ro-Ro ship.
