Question 4003 Deck General

The correct answer is A) the full breaking strength of the mooring line. According to regulations, an anchor winch should be equipped with mechanical brakes capable of holding the full breaking strength of the mooring line. This ensures that the winch can safely and reliably hold the anchor in place, even under the maximum expected loads that the mooring line could experience. The other options are incorrect because they do not provide the necessary level of braking strength to fully secure the anchor. Holding only 50% or half the breaking strength would not be sufficient to prevent the anchor from being pulled out in heavy weather or other high-load situations.
