Question 4103 Deck General

70% to pass

When moored with a Mediterranean moor, the ship should be secured to the pier by having _______________.

A a stern line, 2 bow lines, and 2 quarter lines leading aft to the pier
B a stern line and two quarter lines crossing under the stern
C all regular lines leading to the pier in opposition to the anchor
D two bow lines and two midship lines leading aft to the pier
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) a stern line and two quarter lines crossing under the stern. In a Mediterranean moor, the ship is secured to the pier primarily by the stern line and two quarter lines that cross under the stern. This configuration allows the ship to be secured to the pier without needing to use bow lines, as the stern line and quarter lines provide the necessary stability and control. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the typical mooring arrangement for a Mediterranean moor. Option A requires bow lines, which are not necessary in this type of mooring. Option C refers to an anchor, which is not part of a Mediterranean moor. Option D includes midship lines, which are not the primary mooring lines used in this scenario.
