When coming into port after a long sea voyage, how are the lines prepared for arrival?

Correct Answer: Option B — The lines are brought onto deck and faked out at their respective stations

Preparing for arrival requires lines to be faked out on deck at their respective stations to ensure they run clear without fouling. This practice, standard in CMA deck training, prevents kinks or tangles that could cause dangerous delays or accidents during the critical mooring operation as the vessel approaches the berth.
