What is the minimum standard for making an eye splice in a wire to be used as cargo gear?

Correct Answer: Option A — Make three tucks with full strands, remove half the wires from each strand, and make two more tucks.

Compliance with 46 CFR cargo gear standards requires eye splices in wire rope to incorporate three full tucks with full strands, followed by removing half the wires from each strand and making two additional tucks for security.
