Deck General USCG Q#1405 (Set 44)

When tank cleaning with a portable machine, how is the weight of the machine is suspended?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — a natural fiber tag line, saddle and hose

Portable tank cleaning machines are suspended by a specialized hose, which is reinforced to support the weight of the unit. A natural fiber tag line is used to control the machine's position and rotation within the tank, while a saddle secures the hose at the tank opening.
