🔍 Key Concepts

• Initial stability (GM) and how lowering the ship’s center of gravity (G) affects it • Effect of adding or removing ballast low in the vessel on overall stability • Why athwartships (side‑to‑side) transfers can affect list and may reduce safety in an emergency

💭 Think About

• Ask which option is most likely to lower the center of gravity while keeping the vessel as upright and symmetric as possible • Consider how each option might change trim (bow up/down) versus list (port/starboard) and which is usually safer in a hazardous situation • Think about which actions might increase free surface effect or make the ship more uneven, and whether that would help or hurt stability

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, decide if it adds or removes weight low in the ship and whether that tends to increase or decrease GM • Check whether the action makes the vessel more symmetrical port/starboard or could create/worsen a list • Ask if the change mainly alters fore‑and‑aft trim or actually improves the vessel’s overall ability to resist heeling
