Question 2455 Deck General

The correct answer is B) that will have the tow on a crest while your vessel is on a crest. This is the correct answer because it is important to keep the tow in sync with the motion of the towing vessel when towing in an open seaway. Having the tow on a crest while the towing vessel is also on a crest helps maintain control and stability of the tow, preventing excessive strain on the towing line. The other options are incorrect because: A) having little dip in the towing line may not provide enough flexibility to accommodate the motion of the vessels, C) wire rope is not necessarily required, and D) having the tow in a trough while the towing vessel is on a crest could lead to excessive strain on the towing line.
