When passing a hawser to the dock you would first use what line?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — Heaving line
A heaving line is a light, weighted line used to establish the initial connection between the vessel and the shore. Once the heaving line is secured by shore personnel, it is used to haul the heavier, stronger mooring hawser across the gap to the bollards.
