Deck General USCG Q#629 (Set 19)

Which statement(s) is/are FALSE concerning crane cargo operations?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Cargo loaded into vehicles and/or containers prior to lifting need not be secured.

Failing to secure cargo inside containers or vehicles prior to hoisting creates severe stability hazards due to uncontrolled internal weight shifts during lifts, directly violating standard marine cargo gear operating safety requirements.
