Nylon line is NOT suitable for __________.
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — lashings
Lashings require a line with minimal stretch to maintain tension on secured cargo. Because nylon stretches significantly under load, it will loosen over time, causing cargo to shift. Natural fibers or low-stretch synthetic materials are preferred for lashings to ensure the integrity of the stowage remains constant.
