Rigging and Rigging Gear
FSC 2020: Rigging and Rigging Gear
Federal Supply Class (FSC) 2020 covers rigging hardware and rigging gear used aboard naval vessels and in port operations. Items conform to MIL-SPEC and NAVSEA standards for shipboard load-handling and mooring operations.
Rigging gear supports lifting, mooring, and load-handling tasks on deck and pierside. Proper rigging is essential to safe cargo and equipment handling at sea.
Common items include wire rope rigging, shackles, turnbuckles, blocks, and deck fittings. Hardware is made from forged steel and corrosion-resistant alloys rated for marine loads.
