🔍 Key Concepts

• GM (Metacentric Height) and its relationship with KG (height of center of gravity): higher KG → lower GM; lower KG → higher GM • Free surface effect in slack tanks: how partially filled fuel tanks reduce effective GM • What actions (fuel transfer) do to KG and to the free surface effect

💭 Think About

• If GM is too small, do you want the ship’s center of gravity (KG) to move up or down to improve stability? • What happens to free surface effect when tanks are more slack versus pressed full or emptied? • Which option both improves GM and reduces the negative impact of free surface effect?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that minimum required GM is 0.15 m in the question, so any option that accepts less is suspect • Identify which actions lower KG (more weight low, less weight high) versus raise it • Check which fuel transfer pattern will reduce free surface (fewer slack tanks, tanks either pressed full or empty) rather than increase it

Question 1 of 20

After refueling your vessel, you notice that the GM of the vessel is less than the required 0.15 meters. What do you do?

Transfer the fuel to raise the ship's KG and ignore the free surface effect.

Transfer the fuel to lower the ship's KG and minimize the free surface effect.

Transfer the fuel to increase the free surface effect and raise the ship's KG.

Do nothing because the minimum GM required is 0.1 meters.
