Q

Which is the term given to the stability which remains after a compartment is flooded?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Intact stability refers to stability before any damage or flooding occurs • How stability is affected when one or more watertight compartments are flooded • The term used in damage control and subdivision rules for stability after flooding

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is the question about the ship before or after it has been damaged? That points you away from some options immediately. • Which option clearly refers to the condition of the ship when one or more compartments have already taken on water? • Compare the everyday meanings of the words: which one obviously would NOT apply once the vessel is damaged and flooded?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option that clearly applies only when the vessel is not damaged. • Focus on the choice that is commonly used in damage control, flooding, and subdivision regulations. • Make sure the term you pick logically describes stability after flooding rather than at the very beginning of a heel or in the undamaged condition.
