Q

The DEEP DRILLER, loaded as shown in Sample Load Form #2 (Ballast to Survival), suffers major damage which results in flooding in tank C3S. Pumping from tanks in the vicinity of the damage have proven ineffective. Your best countermeasure is to __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse stability and how off-center flooding affects list • Effect of pumping vs. counterflooding on a damaged side tank • Reading the Sample Load Form #2 (Ballast to Survival) to see which tanks are symmetric or adjacent

💭 Think About

• Is C3S on the port or starboard side, and is it near the centerline or outboard? How does that influence list when it floods? • If pumping from nearby tanks has been ineffective, what does that tell you about the remaining options to improve stability and reduce list? • Which choice would most likely move the center of gravity back toward the centerline rather than making the list worse?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which tanks are mirror-image pairs (port vs starboard) of C3S on the load form • Check whether each suggested tank (C1P, 1P, 10S, C3S) is port or starboard and whether it is forward/aft of the damage • Confirm which actions would reduce free surface effects versus which might increase them or worsen the off-center weight distribution
