Deck General USCG Question #532 (Set 16)

During which condition should the operator of a pedestal crane shutdown operations?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — All of the above

Maximum stack height is calculated by multiplying the allowable deck capacity (380 lbs/sq ft) by the stowage factor (21.3 cu ft/wt), yielding approximately 3.6 feet. Exceeding this height risks structural deck failure due to concentrated deadweight loading exceeding engineering limits.
