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

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Taglines can be fastened to the corners of vehicles or containers during cargo operations.

Crane taglines consist of controlled wire ropes or synthetic lines secured directly to the corners of bulk cargo, vehicles, or containers to prevent load rotation and provide stabilization during deck hoisting and transfer operations.
