Steadying lines

Cordage of up to about 24 mm in size, secured in adequate lengths to the load being lifted in order to provide stability and a steadying influence to the load when in transit from the quay to ship or ship to barge. Larger, heavier loads may use steadying tackles for the same purpose. However, these are more often secured to a collar/saucer arrangement, above the lifting hook, as opposed to being secured to the load itself. Tackles are rove with FSWR, not fibre cordage.
