🔍 Key Concepts

• Plimsoll mark (load line mark) on a ship’s side • Relationship between load line and maximum legal loading / freeboard • Difference between freeboard, trim, and centerline/shaft alignment

💭 Think About

• On what part of the ship is the Plimsoll mark painted, and what information does it give about how deep the vessel may sit in the water? • Which option describes a condition that changes with how heavily the ship is loaded versus something fixed in construction (like centerline or shaft)? • Which of the choices is directly regulated internationally and marked visibly on the ship’s hull for safety against overloading?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall that the Plimsoll mark is also called the load line and is tied to overloading prevention. • Check which choice deals with how high or low the ship floats in the water in different seasons/zones. • Eliminate any options that refer to internal alignment or a permanent structural reference that would not need an external painted mark.
