🔍 Key Concepts

• Traditional cargo boom rigging on freighters and break-bulk ships • Specific fittings used to attach multiple guys and topping lifts to a single point on a boom • Differences between a band/collar and individual pad eyes

💭 Think About

• Think about which term is commonly used in seamanship texts for the circular fitting around a boom that accepts several rigging connections at once. • Consider whether a pad eye is usually a single-point fitting or a full circular band. • Ask yourself which of these terms is associated with multiple guys radiating out, almost like legs or arms, from one collar on the boom.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option refers to a continuous band around the boom, not just a single lashing point. • Confirm in your study materials what term is used for the fitting that takes topping lift plus several guys together. • Eliminate any answers that usually describe a single eye or plate rather than a multi-attachment collar.
