How should pinching of the cargo hose between the vessel and the dock be prevented?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Cargo hose support and strain during loading/discharge operations • How vessel movement (tide, surge, draft change) affects hose position and tension • Purpose of hose supports vs. extra slack vs. preventers

💭 Think About

• Which option actively allows you to keep the hose in a safe position as the vessel moves relative to the dock? • Which choices might actually create new hazards (e.g., chafe, tripping, kinking, or losing control of hose movement)? • Think about what equipment is normally used during cargo transfer to follow the ship’s movement and avoid the hose being squeezed between ship and pier.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which method lets you continuously control the hose height and lead between ship and shore connection. • Check which choice sounds like standard cargo-transfer practice rather than an improvised solution. • Eliminate any option that would tend to increase slack without control or transfer load to gear not meant to carry hose strain.
