Mooring wire fiber tails should be inspected on a regular basis. Which of the following would be included in the inspection?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) inspection of the connection between the wire and tail.
The connection between the wire and fiber tail is a critical part of the mooring system and must be inspected regularly. Any signs of wear or damage at this connection point could lead to failure, which would be a serious safety hazard. The other options, while potentially relevant to overall mooring wire inspection, do not specifically address this crucial connection point.
