🔍 Key Concepts

• Reserve buoyancy and what it physically means for a vessel • Difference between trim, list, and stability • What must happen versus what can or often happens when a compartment floods

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if a compartment floods, is a change in trim, list, or stability guaranteed in every case, or only in some arrangements and loading conditions? • Which option describes something that might depend on where the water is and how the ship is loaded, and which option describes something that is an inherent consequence of losing reserve buoyancy? • Think about free surface: does it only exist in flooding, or can it also be present in intact tanks with slack liquids?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify what reserve buoyancy actually is (hint: it relates to unused volume above the waterline). • Check which choices describe effects that could be zero in some special configurations (for example, symmetric flooding forward and aft, or port and starboard). • Make sure you distinguish between stability (resistance to heeling/rolling) and heel/list (actual angle the ship is at).
