Question 4104 Deck General

70% to pass

A "Mediterranean moor" should be used when _______________.

A when anchoring in the Mediterranean
B when docking bow to a berth
C when docking stern to a berth
D when anchoring in a strong current
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) when docking stern to a berth. A "Mediterranean moor" is a technique used to secure a vessel by docking it stern-to a berth or pier. This allows the vessel to be secured with its stern facing the berth, which can be useful in situations with limited space or strong currents. The stern-to configuration provides better control and maneuverability when docking the vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) a "Mediterranean moor" is not specifically used for anchoring in the Mediterranean, B) docking bow-to is a different technique, and D) a "Mediterranean moor" is not used when anchoring in strong currents.
