The safe working load for the assembled cargo gear and the minimum angle to the horizontal for which the gear is designed shall be marked on the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) the heel of the boom.
The safe working load and minimum angle to the horizontal for which the cargo gear is designed must be marked on the heel of the boom. This is required by regulations set forth by the US Coast Guard for vessels that carry cargo. Marking this information on the heel of the boom ensures it is clearly visible and accessible to those operating the cargo handling equipment.
The other options are incorrect because the information is not required to be marked on the mast or king post (B), the deck (C), or the head of the boom (D). The regulations specifically call for this information to be displayed on the heel of the boom.
