🔍 Key Concepts

• Deck fittings associated with mooring and towing • The location and typical shape of a chock on a vessel • Difference between a chock, a pad eye, and a bulwark opening

💭 Think About

• Think about how mooring lines are led from the winch or bitts on deck to shore or another vessel. What fitting do they pass through? • Visualize where on the ship you normally see chocks—are they on the deck itself, or at the ship’s side or bulwark? • Which option best matches a smooth, reinforced guide for lines, and which options describe other functions or fittings?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which fitting is used to lead and control mooring lines so they don’t chafe on sharp edges • Check whether a chock’s main function is about cargo, about attaching gear to the deck, or about guiding lines at the ship’s side • Eliminate any option that describes a function usually performed by pad eyes, lashing gear, or cargo securing devices rather than mooring fittings
