🔍 Key Concepts

• Chafing gear is used to protect something from wear due to friction or rubbing. • Think about which item in the choices is most exposed to repeated rubbing against a fixed surface (like a chock, bitts, or pier). • Consider normal, everyday operational use on a vessel—what is regularly under tension and moving slightly as the vessel moves?

💭 Think About

• Which of these items is most likely to move or saw back and forth where it passes over metal or a rough edge? • Which choice describes something that is often under load and must be protected from abrasion to avoid parting? • Is chafing gear usually permanently installed equipment, or something you add to protect lines where they pass over surfaces?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option involves lines or ropes that can be damaged by rubbing. • Identify which choice is commonly fitted with extra protection where it passes through chocks or over the rail. • Eliminate any option that refers to equipment that is mostly metal-on-metal or not normally subject to line abrasion in everyday mooring/berthing operations.
