The correct answer is D) All of the above. Cranes installed on the centerline of vessels have several advantages: 1) One crane is able to work both sides of the ship, allowing for more efficient cargo loading and unloading. 2) One crane can work the ends of two adjacent hatches, further improving cargo handling efficiency. 3) Centerline-mounted cranes are more economical and weigh less compared to having cranes mounted on each side of the vessel.
