Cargo Operations Sea Year Practice Exam

Container tiers are organized in which direction?

Horizontally Vertically Diagonally Laterally

Correct Answer:

Vertically

Explanation:

Container tiers are the vertical levels in a stack. Each tier is a layer stacked on top of the one below, so they’re organized in the vertical direction. In yards and on ships, containers are placed in columns with several containers high, and each layer above the bottom is another tier. Horizontal or side-to-side arrangements describe position along the deck or yard, not the height of the stack, so they don’t define a tier. Diagonal isn’t a standard way to describe stacking levels either. Hence, the vertical direction is how container tiers are arranged.
