Deck General USCG Question #274 (Set 8)

Which statement is TRUE concerning a tagline as used with a 30-ton pedestal crane?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — The crane might not have taglines installed in its rigging system.

Shipboard pedestal cranes are specialized lifting units and many models are manufactured and installed without secondary taglines in their standard rigging architecture, relying entirely on the main hoist and whip lines for load control.
