🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse stability and how weight location (high vs low) affects it • Effect of changing displacement (removing or adding weight) on stability • How free communication of water or open openings can affect vessel survivability and stability

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask yourself: does this move weight higher, lower, or remove/add weight, and how does that change stability? • Consider whether the action might increase draft or decrease it, and what that usually means for stability in small to moderate loading changes. • Think about whether the action affects the vessel’s ability to remain watertight and resist flooding.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, decide if it moves weight upwards, downwards, or removes/adds weight overall. • Identify which choices might increase the vertical center of gravity (KG) and which might lower it. • Check which action, in normal operations, clearly improves stability rather than possibly reducing it or having mixed effects.
