🔍 Key Concepts

• Conventional cargo boom rig components and what each one does • Difference between supporting the boom vs hoisting the cargo • How a boom is raised and lowered (changed in vertical angle)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which part actually changes the angle of the boom up and down, rather than just holding it at the ship’s structure? • Which option is primarily a rope or wire that can be worked on a winch or purchase to control the boom’s vertical position? • Eliminate any parts whose main job is to carry the load directly or simply connect the boom to the mast or deck.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which listed parts are fixed fittings versus running rigging (movable lines or wires). • Verify which component’s main purpose is adjusting the boom’s height/angle, not swinging it sideways or lifting cargo directly. • Make sure you separate gear that supports the boom itself from gear that hoists the cargo hook.
