🔍 Key Concepts

• Vertical center of gravity (KG) and how weight added to a vessel affects it • Difference between loading cargo high in the ship vs. low in the ship • How adding, removing, or shifting weights changes a vessel’s stability

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the ship’s overall center of gravity if you put a heavy weight high up versus down in the double bottoms. Does KG go up, down, or can it do both depending on where the weight is placed? • Ask yourself: Is the effect of loading cargo on KG always the same, or does it depend on the vertical position of the cargo in the ship? • Consider whether saying “always increases” or “always decreases” makes sense for all possible cargo locations on board.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how adding weight below the existing center of gravity affects the vertical center of gravity (KG) • Verify how adding weight above the existing center of gravity affects KG • Check whether any option that uses the word always could be incorrect if the cargo is loaded at different heights in the vessel
