🔍 Key Concepts

• the definition of a list vs. a loll and what causes each condition • how fuel distribution affects stability and center of gravity but not necessarily the ship’s overall displacement • what reserve buoyancy means (volume of watertight hull above the waterline) and when it actually changes

💭 Think About

• Think about what physically changes when the ship has a small list: does the underwater volume or total weight of the ship change, or do they just shift sideways? • Ask yourself whether an improper fuel distribution that causes a small list would by itself make the vessel alternately heel from side to side, or simply stay heeled in one direction. • Consider which quantities depend mainly on the amount of weight aboard (like draft and reserve buoyancy) versus those that depend on the transverse position of that weight (side‑to‑side shift).

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between a constant list and instability causing a flop or loll. • Verify whether maximum draft is determined by fuel’s side‑to‑side distribution or by total weight aboard. • Check how reserve buoyancy is defined and whether a small list, with the same displacement, necessarily reduces the total watertight volume above the waterline.
