🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between icing caused by seawater spray and icing caused by precipitation (rain/hail) • How weight distribution high on the vessel (superstructure, rigging) affects stability • Conditions that produce rapid, heavy ice buildup on deck and structures

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which source can continuously supply large amounts of water to the vessel in rough, cold conditions: waves or falling precipitation? • Think about where the ice ends up: which process most quickly adds weight high above the waterline, affecting stability the most? • Consider which option is known to rapidly coat railings, decks, and rigging in cold, windy conditions in northern waters.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which phenomenon can produce continuous, heavy spray in strong winds and rough seas • Check which type of icing is most associated with vessel stability emergencies and capsizing risk • Confirm which choice is directly linked to freezing spray warnings often issued in marine forecasts
