30 MCQs #1 A case received for shipment has the markings shown in illustration D043DG below. Each carton measures 13" X 15" X 23". What is the total cubic capacity the entire consignment will occupy if you assume 10% broken stowage? #2 A lot of special cargo of similar cartons as shown in illustration D042DG below is to be loaded. What is the total cubic capacity the consignment will occupy if you assume 10% broken stowage? #3 A case received for shipment has the markings shown in illustration D043DG below. Each carton measures 13" X 15" X 23". Ignoring broken stowage what is the total cubic capacity the entire consignment will occupy? #4 You are lifting a 3 ton weight with a single whip rove on a swinging boom set at an angle of 60° to the horizontal. Use the formula for the size of a shackle with a safe working load and determine the minimum size shackle that should be used to secure the head block to the boom. #5 You are lifting a one-ton weight with a swinging boom. When comparing the stresses on the rig with the boom at 20° to the horizontal to the stresses when the boom is at 60° to the horizontal, which statement is TRUE? #6 How should you signal the crane operator to use the whip line? #7 A vessel has a deadweight carrying capacity of 10,500 tons. Fuel, water, and stores require 1500 tons. The cubic capacity is 500,000 cubic feet. Which cargo will put her full and down? #8 You are lifting a 5-ton weight with a single whip rove on a swinging boom set at an angle of 60° to the horizontal. Use the formula for the size of a shackle with a safe working load and determine the minimum size shackle that should be used to secure the head block to the boom? #9 You are going to load bales of wool having a stowage factor of 100 in #3 lower hold which has a bale cubic of 62,000. How many tons of the wool can be stowed in the compartment, assuming 10% broken stowage? #10 How should you signal the crane operator to dog everything? #11 There is a large shipment of case goods available to be loaded on your vessel.

If you allow a broken stowage allowance of 10% of the 32,300 feet, what is the nearest whole number of tons which may be loaded? #12 What would you use to adjust the height of a cargo boom? #13 What is required to be stenciled at the heel of a cargo boom? #14 The safe working load for the assembled cargo gear and the minimum angle to the horizontal for which the gear is designed shall be marked on the __________. #15 With a given load on the cargo hook, the thrust on a cargo boom __________. #16 For a given weight of cargo, the stress on the heel block of a cargo boom __________. #17 The greatest horizontal stress between the heads of the booms in the yard and stay rig occurs when the load is in such a position that the __________. #18 You are lifting a one-ton weight with a swinging boom. When comparing the stresses in the rig with the boom at 20° to the horizontal to the stresses when the boom is at 60° to the horizontal, which statement is TRUE? #19 The 30 ton capacity pedestal cranes shown in the illustration D047DG can lift a maximum weight of how many tons in the single mode? #20 In relation to cargo gear, what does "SWL" mean? #21 The signal man assisting the crane operator has his arm extended with the palm down and holds this position rigidly. This is the signal to __________. #22 For vessels fitted with cargo gear, an initial test of the units under a proof load shall be conducted. Subsequent tests and exams of the same nature shall be carried out at what time interval? #23 A periodic thorough examination of the cargo gear proves satisfactory. What percentage of the total gear must be dismantled to determine actual internal condition? #24 All wire rope used in shipboard cargo gear must be identified and described in a certificate. The certificate shall certify all of the following EXCEPT the __________. #25 The best way to lift many small articles aboard your vessel is with a __________. #26 A spreader bar is used to __________. #27 The signal man assisting the crane operator has his forearm vertical, forefinger pointing up, and moves his hand in a small horizontal circle.
