Which factor(s) affect lashing requirements aboard Ro-Ro vessels?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — Ship's characteristics and motion in a seaway
A ship's unique stability characteristics, metacentric height (GM), and resultant motion profile in a seaway directly govern the magnitude of dynamic inertial forces experienced by secured vehicles, dictating overall lashing requirements.
