🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between tonnage (a measure of internal volume used for regulatory/fee purposes) and physical buoyancy terms • Meaning of displacement for a floating vessel or MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) • Definition of reserve buoyancy as it relates to watertight volume above the waterline

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which option refers specifically to the watertight volume that is NOT currently submerged but can provide extra buoyant force if flooded or loaded? • Which terms in the options are mainly administrative measures for port dues, regulations, or taxes rather than physical buoyancy characteristics? • How is displacement normally defined in naval architecture—does it refer to submerged volume, total weight, or something above the waterline?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which term is defined as the watertight volume above the load waterline that contributes to safety if the vessel is damaged or loaded • Identify which options, by definition, are measures of tonnage used for registration and fees, not descriptions of physical volume above the waterline • Verify that displacement volume relates to the volume of water actually displaced by the floating body (i.e., the submerged portion), not the space above the waterline
