🔍 Key Concepts

• Floodable length curve usage on Stability Data Reference Book blue pages • Meaning of permeability of a compartment and how it affects flooding calculations • How to interpret when a vessel will just sink versus remain afloat on the floodable length diagram

💭 Think About

• Identify what the given 45% permeability floodable length curve represents in terms of the ship’s ability to withstand flooding in No.1 hold • Think about whether increasing permeability makes the compartment hold more or less water, and how that changes the risk of sinking • Use the blue-page diagram to see at which permeability value the available floodable length is just exceeded for No.1 hold

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the correct curve for 45% permeability and the correct station/position for No.1 hold • Check where No.1 hold’s length falls relative to the floodable length curve as permeability increases • Verify on the diagram the permeability value at which the floodable length is just equal to the compartment length, indicating the point of sinking
