🔍 Key Concepts

• Ballast vs cargo – what is each used for on a dry cargo ship? • Difference between ballasting (taking on ballast water) and deballasting (the opposite operation). • Reasons for using ballast: correcting draft/trim for cargo operations vs correcting hull stresses (hogging/sagging) or list.

💭 Think About

• Think about the plain-English meaning of the prefix "de-" in maritime terms like deballast, dewater, disembark. How does that relate to ballast tanks? • Ask yourself: when you load cargo, does the ship usually need more water weight or less water weight in the ballast tanks? What about when you discharge cargo? • Look carefully at which choices describe filling tanks and which describe emptying or draining them, then match that with your understanding of what "deballasting" should mean.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options clearly mean draining/emptying ballast tanks and which mean filling them. • Separate options that describe redistributing ballast already on board from those that describe adding or removing ballast. • Confirm which condition (hogging, sagging, list, or cargo loading) is most directly tied to a simple taking off ballast water operation, rather than shifting it around.
