Deck General USCG Question #287 (Set 9)

What is NOT a securing system used on a containership?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Stacking system

Stacking cones and fittings are structural interface components rather than an active securing system. Containership securing relies on twistlocks, buttresses, and lashing rods to withstand dynamic rolling forces.
