🔍 Key Concepts

• Draft: what it means and what affects it • Difference between loading and discharging weight on a vessel • Effect of water density (fresh vs salt) and shallow water/squat on how deep a vessel sits

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask: does this make the ship heavier, lighter, or the same overall weight? • Think about how moving into salt water versus fresh water changes buoyancy: in which one does a vessel float higher for the same weight? • Consider whether just moving cargo vertically inside the ship changes total weight or only stability/trim.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition: increased draft = ship sits deeper in the water • Identify which option actually increases the vessel’s effective weight per unit buoyancy or reduces how high it floats • Verify whether entering shallow water changes the ship’s weight, or just the water depth under the keel (and think about squat).
