Question 684 Deck General

The correct answer is A) on the top tier. With the buttress securing system, containers of different heights must be stowed on the top tier to ensure proper load distribution and stability. This is because the buttress towers provide support and containment for the stacked containers, and taller containers need to be placed on top to prevent the load from becoming unstable or unbalanced. The other options are incorrect because: B) placing the containers next to the buttress tower would not provide the necessary support and containment; C) placing the shorter containers on the bottom tier would make the overall stack unstable; and D) the hold is not the appropriate location for stowing containers with the buttress securing system.
