• Cargo securing terminology used in break-bulk and general cargo holds • Difference between supporting from below vs pressing down from above/side • How vertical or angled compression members are named in cargo stowage

💭 Think About

• Look at the key phrase: cargo is secured by pieces running from an upper support down to the cargo. Which term describes a member that pushes or presses cargo into place, rather than just separating or padding it? • Think about what each option usually does: Which one mainly means padding or flooring, which means side or overhead supports, and which is a vertical or slanting strut? • Ask yourself: In traditional break-bulk stowage, what do we call timber that is set upright or slanting, pushing cargo tight so it can’t shift?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers to timber used as a compression member (taking load along its length). • Eliminate the term that mainly means loose wood used for chocking, spacing, or lining rather than active support from above. • Confirm that the correct term is commonly defined as vertical or inclined pieces of timber set between a structural support and the cargo.
