🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse stability and the effect of vertical center of gravity (KG) on a tender vessel • How stowage height (high vs low in the ship) affects metacentric height (GM) • Characteristics of lumber cargo: density differences between heavy vs light woods and compact vs bulky stowage

💭 Think About

• Which choice will lower the ship’s center of gravity the most when carrying lumber? • How does adding more weight high up (on deck or upper holds) vs low down (in lower holds) affect whether a vessel is tender or stiff? • Among the options, which practice clearly improves stability rather than just making stowage neater or freeing up space?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option clearly reduces weight high in the ship and increases it lower down • Eliminate any option that would increase KG and make the ship more tender • Ask: does this option directly improve initial stability (GM), or is it just a cargo-handling or space-saving measure?
