70% to passPinching of the cargo hose between the vessel and the dock should be prevented by _______________.
A
adjusting the hose supports
B
tying off the topping lifts and runners to winch heads
C
laying out an excess length of hose on deck
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
You are correct, the answer A) adjusting the hose supports is the correct answer. The key to preventing pinching of the cargo hose is to ensure that the hose is properly supported and not under tension. Adjusting the hose supports, such as using saddles or rollers, allows the hose to move freely as the vessel moves with the tide or waves, reducing the risk of the hose becoming pinched between the vessel and the dock. The other options, while potentially helpful, do not directly address the issue of preventing pinching of the hose.
