Question 1 of 27070

Q

A tow bridle is attached to the main tow hawser at the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Tow bridle – what part of the rig it is and what it connects to • Main tow hawser – the single main towing line running from tug to tow • The special fitting used where multiple legs of a bridle join the main tow line

💭 Think About

• Picture a typical tug towing one barge on a long line: where do the two (or more) legs of the bridle from the barge actually meet the main tow hawser? • Which option names a connection fitting designed specifically to join several lines together, rather than just a hook or a rotating device? • Think about which item would normally be located out on the tow, not on the tug itself.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between gear located on the tug (like towing hooks) and gear located on the tow/bridle assembly • Identify which choice refers to a fitting whose main purpose is to join multiple towlines/legs into one main line • Eliminate any items that are primarily for quick release or rotation (swiveling) rather than for combining bridle legs into the hawser
