Deck General USCG Q#627 (Set 19)

Which of the following statement(s) is/are FALSE regarding a twin pedestal crane set?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — The cranes are powered by independent internal combustion power units.

Marine pedestal cranes are typically powered by centralized ship's electrical or electro-hydraulic ring mains rather than independent internal combustion engines inside the crane housing due to fire, ventilation, and exhaust hazards inherent to confined crane machinery spaces.
