Question 2431 Deck General

The correct answer is C) fit any spare wire clips carried on board the vessel for repair purposes. The size and material of the towline(s) must meet the following requirements: be suitable for exposure to the marine environment, be appropriate to the vessel's horsepower or bollard pull, and be strong enough to handle any static or dynamic loads expected during its service life. However, the towline(s) do not need to fit any spare wire clips carried on board, as that is not a regulatory requirement for the towline specifications. The other options (A, B, and D) are all correct requirements for the towline(s), but option C is the only one that is not a necessary specification.
