Question 1313Deck Safety70% to pass
The tricing pendants should be released _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) after loading the passengers.
The tricing pendants are lines used to secure the boat's lifeboat or rescue boat to the ship or platform while it is being loaded with passengers or cargo. They should be released after the passengers have been loaded, to allow the boat to be lowered into the water safely. Releasing the tricing pendants before loading the passengers could make the boat unstable and pose a safety risk. The boat should also be afloat before the gripes (lashings) are removed, to ensure it is stable in the water.
