🔍 Key Concepts

• Downflooding on a MODU: what it means when openings are submerged and water can enter the hull or spaces • Relationship between angle of heel and when openings (hatches, doors, vents) become a path for water ingress • Difference between stability condition (positive/neutral/negative) and watertight integrity/downflooding limits

💭 Think About

• At what point, as the vessel or MODU heels, does the risk of water entering through an opening become critical? Think about what physically changes at that angle. • Which option talks about the actual physical event of water getting in, versus an abstract stability concept? • Ask yourself: is the downflooding angle defined by curves on paper, by a specific stability state, or by when sea water can first enter through an opening?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is directly tied to water ingress through openings rather than just mathematical stability definitions. • Check which option could be observed visually on a real MODU as it heels, not just in a calculation sheet. • Eliminate any option that doesn’t clearly relate to submersion of openings or the point where they become vulnerable to flooding.
