When tank cleaning with a portable machine, how is the weight of the machine is suspended?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — a natural fiber tag line, saddle and hose
Portable tank cleaning machines are suspended by a specialized hose, which is reinforced to support the weight of the unit. A natural fiber tag line is used to control the machine's position and rotation within the tank, while a saddle secures the hose at the tank opening.
