🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS stability information required to be supplied to the Master • Relationship between vertical center of gravity (KG/VCG) and metacentric height (GM) • Purpose of the ship’s stability booklet / stability curves in day‑to‑day operations

💭 Think About

• Ask which option actually helps the Master judge if the ship’s loading condition is safe and compliant for stability at a given displacement and trim. • Consider which items are used routinely before sailing versus which are only used during special tests or are unrelated to stability limits. • Think about whether SOLAS/Intact Stability Code limits are normally written as a minimum required GM or a maximum allowable KG/VCG for each draft.

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any choice that does not directly give a stability limit (for example, things about speed or test procedures). • Focus on options that provide curves or tables used to check loading conditions against required stability criteria. • Check whether the wording makes physical sense: is it more typical to specify a minimum GM or a maximum KG/VCG when setting stability limits?
