Question 540Deck General70% to pass
"Cribbing" is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) wooden blocks or dunnage placed between a deck load and the deck.
Cribbing refers to the wooden blocks or other dunnage material placed between a deck cargo and the deck itself. This helps to prevent the cargo from chafing or damage to the deck surface. It creates a buffer and distributes the weight of the cargo more evenly.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the meaning of "cribbing" in the context of a Captain's License examination. Option A refers to cardboard separation, option B is for the crate or packaging, and option C describes the chains and shackles used to secure the cargo, not the cribbing material itself.
