You need to make up a mooring line to leave permanently rigged on a cleat. What is the correct way to secure it so it can be released quickly under load if needed?

A. Wrap it round the cleat as many times as will fit, with no locking hitch

B. A full turn around the base of the cleat, then figure-of-eight turns across the horns, finished with a locking hitch — this holds securely under load but can still be freed even when the line is under tension

C. Tie a bowline around the cleat itself

D. Use a clove hitch around the middle of the cleat

A. Nothing — a test lift can proceed immediately after repairs

B. Testing should wait until cargo operations begin

C. The area within the grab's swing radius should be cleared of personnel before the lift

D. Only the crane operator needs to be aware the lift is happening

A. Who must remain clear of the exclusion zone while the lift takes place

B. The lunch schedule for the deck team

C. Only the weather forecast for the next watch

D. The cargo manifest for the next port
