Question 683 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Stacking system. A stacking system is not used on a containership. Containerships use a lashing system, a buttress system, and a locking system to secure the cargo containers on board. The lashing system uses cables, rods, and turnbuckles to tie down the containers. The buttress system uses vertical supports to prevent the containers from shifting. The locking system uses twist locks to connect the containers to the ship's deck. However, a stacking system, which is used to stack containers vertically on land, is not employed on a containership.
