🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between displacement volume and the portion of the structure that is ABOVE the waterline • Meaning of reserve buoyancy in ship/rig stability • What gross tonnage and net tonnage actually measure (they are measures of internal volume for regulatory/fee purposes, not buoyancy)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which term specifically relates to extra buoyant volume above the waterline that helps the unit stay afloat if lower spaces flood? • Which options are mainly about how heavy the vessel is or how big its internal spaces are, rather than emergency buoyancy? • For a floating MODU, which term is used in stability and damage-control discussions about surviving flooding?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is defined as the watertight volume above the waterline that can contribute to flotation if flooded compartments are lost. • Eliminate any terms that refer to regulatory measurement of size (used for fees, manning, etc.), not physical buoyancy. • Confirm that displacement relates to the total weight/volume of water displaced, not just the volume above the waterline.
