🔍 Key Concepts

• Trim vs. list – understand how a ship moves when weight is shifted fore-and-aft versus side-to-side • Locations and typical uses of peak tanks, deep tanks, and domestic/settling tanks on cargo ships • Which tanks are normally placed near the extreme ends of the vessel’s length to change the draft forward or aft

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: To change trim (bow up/bow down), do you want tanks located toward the middle or toward the ends of the ship? • Think about which of these tank types are generally designed with enough capacity and location to noticeably change the ship’s fore-and-aft draft. • Consider what ‘settlers’ and ‘domestics’ are mainly used for on board—are they usually large trimming tanks or service tanks for fuel/water?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which tanks are typically found at the forward and after ends of the vessel. • Check which option refers to tanks that are large enough and specifically suited for ballast or weight shift affecting trim. • Eliminate any tank types that are primarily service tanks (fuel treatment, domestic water, etc.) rather than ballast/trim tanks.
