Which material should NOT be used to secure cargo on deck for a voyage?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Fiber rope.
Fiber rope should not be used to secure cargo on deck for a voyage. This is because fiber rope can deteriorate quickly when exposed to the elements, such as seawater, sunlight, and weather. Over time, fiber rope can become weakened and lose its tensile strength, making it unreliable for securing heavy cargo on deck. In contrast, steel strapping, wire rope, and steel chain are more durable and better suited for securing cargo on deck during a voyage.
