🔍 Key Concepts

• Stability charts and what information they need to be used effectively • The difference between a fire control plan and a deadweight and capacity plan • How free surface effect is related to tank arrangement, tank capacities, and loading information

💭 Think About

• Which document tells you where things are on the ship versus which document tells you how much weight or liquid each space can hold? • To judge the effect of firefighting water on stability, do you mainly need to know fire boundaries and equipment, or do you need to know tank/space volumes and loading data? • Which component is normally used together with stability information to estimate the impact of added liquids in different compartments?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which plan gives weights, tank capacities, and compartment volumes, not just locations of fire gear or escape routes • Check which document is specifically tied to loading, displacement, and cargo/ballast distribution • Confirm which component is routinely referenced with stability calculations rather than purely with fire-fighting tactics
