Question 4411 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Load cell. A load cell is a device used to measure the force or weight exerted on a mooring system. It is typically installed in the mooring line or leg to directly measure the tension or load being applied. This allows the operator to monitor the forces acting on the mooring system and ensure it is within safe operating limits. The other answer choices are not directly used to measure the force on a mooring system. A hole position indicator monitors the position of a vessel's mooring lines, an advanced stability computer calculates overall vessel stability, and a fathometer measures water depth, none of which are specific to measuring mooring line tension.
