🔍 Key Concepts

• Deck cargo stowage terminology and common practices • How heavy or irregular cargo is supported and distributed on deck • Difference between supporting cargo vs. securing or separating cargo

💭 Think About

• Which option describes something that primarily supports the weight of cargo on deck rather than just holding it in position? • Think about how you would keep a heavy piece of machinery from damaging the deck or concentrating weight in a small area—what would you place underneath it? • Which choices deal more with keeping things upright or from falling rather than actually forming a base or foundation under the load?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option clearly refers to supporting cargo from underneath on the deck surface. • Eliminate options that mainly describe restraints, nets, or vertical separators instead of a base layer. • Ask: Which choice best matches the idea of a wood foundation/timber blocking under deck cargo?
