Question 2056 Deck General

The correct answer is C) offshore bow line. The offshore bow line, labeled "H" in the illustration, is the mooring line that connects the bow of the vessel to a mooring point or dock on the offshore side of the vessel. This line helps secure the bow of the vessel and prevent it from drifting away from the dock. The other answer options are incorrect because: A) An onshore bow line would be on the inshore/landward side of the vessel, not the offshore side. B) A forward breast line would run perpendicular to the vessel, not from the bow. D) An offshore spring line would run at an angle from the vessel, not directly from the bow.
