🔍 Key Concepts

• Definition of reserve buoyancy in ship stability • What freeboard represents on a vessel • Difference between floodable length and actual reserve buoyancy

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which option refers to buoyant volume that is still available to keep the ship afloat when compartments are damaged or loaded? • Which choice is an immediate, physical indication you can see or measure from the outside of the vessel? • Which terms relate more to calculation tools or characteristics (like permeability or floodable length) rather than a direct measure of how much extra buoyancy is available?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what reserve buoyancy means: volume of watertight space above the waterline that can provide extra lift • Identify which option can be expressed or inspected directly as a vertical distance between the waterline and deck edge • Confirm which terms (such as permeability and LBP) describe properties used in calculations but are not the direct measure of reserve buoyancy itself
