🔍 Key Concepts

• Flooded structural leg on a liftboat and its effect on stability and structural integrity • Regulatory and safety obligations when a vessel’s seaworthiness or stability may be impaired • Why changing draft/ballast/jacked height with a damaged or flooded leg can increase risk

💭 Think About

• If a liftboat leg is flooded and causing a list, what does that say about the vessel’s current safety and structural condition? • Which actions could make the loading on the legs and hull worse or less predictable if one leg is compromised? • In a real-world casualty or damage situation, what are the master’s immediate responsibilities before attempting major corrective actions or continuing the voyage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option best reflects your duty to report and seek assistance/oversight when the vessel may be unsafe? • Which option could increase stress on a damaged leg or reduce stability further, even if it sounds like it might correct list or add buoyancy? • Eliminate any choice that clearly ignores or minimizes a potential loss of seaworthiness or serious structural problem.
