Deck General USCG Question #277 (Set 8)

The securing systems for containers were developed to prevent container movement during which ship motion?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Roll

Ship roll generates the most violent lateral and vertical accelerations acting on container stacks. Securing systems, twistlocks, and lashing rods are specifically engineered to counteract transverse overturning moments and forces induced by rolling.
