Description
There is always an apparent need to move material, equipment, and machinery to support all other trades. Rigger apprentices learn basic rigging fundamentals, how to properly hook up loads and how to signal to crane operators for movement. In addition, they learn to fabricate wire rope pendants for rigging aboard ships, install temporary services and work in the tool room. Apprentices are a part of large ship section lifts, blocking and shoring that supports the initial ship’s construction, and they erect and assemble a variety of staging platforms to support the needs for the trades to safely accomplish their jobs.
