LOAD RECEIVING PINS There are four load receiving pins on the bay;
one at each end of the outer ponton located in a recess below the splash plate.
They are non-removable to the operator and function both as lifting points
and for anchoring bridge or raft assembly to shore.
CLEATS There are four cleats on the bay; each is located next to a load
receiving pin recess and splash plate. They are used to hold ropes and cables
for IRB operation.
