What is/are the advantage(s) of cranes over conventional cargo booms?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Compare ship’s cargo cranes to traditional kingpost/derrick cargo booms in terms of rigging on deck • Think about how the operator controls a crane versus how a boom/derrick is controlled • Consider the working arc/spotting area where a load can be picked up and landed

💭 Think About

• For each option (A, B, C), ask: Is this realistically true for most modern shipboard cranes compared with older cargo booms? • How would clearing away standing and running rigging affect safety and movement on deck? • Does a slewing crane have a wider or narrower area in which it can place a load compared with a fixed boom with guys and topping lifts?

✅ Before You Answer

• For each statement A, B, and C, decide if it correctly describes a real operational advantage of cranes over conventional booms • Check whether any option contains only advantages, with no obviously false claim mixed in • Before choosing D) All of the above, make sure every single statement (A, B, and C) can stand on its own as a true advantage
