What should be ensured when securing RHIBs for transport?

When securing RHIBs (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats) for transport, it is crucial to ensure that a large portion of the boat is in contact with the skids to prevent shifting and potential damage during transit. Having at least 90% of the boat touching the skids provides the necessary stability and support to keep the boat securely in place, reducing the risk of movement that could lead to structural issues or safety hazards during transport.

This level of contact ensures that the weight of the boat is evenly distributed across the skids, which helps in maintaining the integrity of both the boat and the transport structure. It also provides a safety margin to account for any uneven surfaces or shifts that may occur when the transport vehicle is in motion. Proper securing practices are essential to avoid accidents and ensure the reliability of the vessel when it reaches its destination.
