🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose and typical use of a cargo sling in seamanship and cargo handling • Differences between equipment used for personnel transfer vs. cargo handling • Basic deck operations: anchoring gear, mooring lines, and cargo gear

💭 Think About

• Think about which operation commonly uses webbing, wire, or chain arranged to support a load from a hook on a crane or derrick. • Ask yourself: when moving people, do we usually use the same simple gear we use for lifting pallets, drums, or crates? • Consider which operation routinely involves attaching gear around or under an object so it can be lifted by a hoist or crane.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice most closely matches routine cargo handling practices aboard commercial vessels. • Eliminate any options that would require special safety equipment or procedures for personnel rather than basic rigging gear. • Make sure the operation you pick is one where a sling would be placed around or under the load and connected to a hook or shackle for lifting.
