🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor handling gear terminology used around the forecastle and chain locker • Function of a chain locker drainage and support structure • Difference between parts that support chain vs parts that measure draft or secure cargo

💭 Think About

• Which term refers to something that forms a raised or false bottom with holes to let water pass through? • Which option names something you would expect to find specifically INSIDE a chain locker rather than on the ships hull or around cargo? • For each word, ask yourself: is this about supporting/arranging the anchor chain, supporting cargo, describing ships immersion, or shaping a net/line?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the definition to the term used in anchor and mooring equipment vocabulary, not general ship structure • Eliminate any choice that is mainly associated with ship draft or hull immersion • Eliminate any choice primarily used to describe supporting cargo or fishing gear, not anchor chain
