Question 1157 Deck General
70% to passA vessel loads edible oil in a deep tank through a manhole at the mid-length of the tank. In order to fill the tank to maximum capacity, what trim should the vessel have?
A
In level trim
B
Down by either the bow or stern
C
Down by the stern
D
Down by the bow
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) In level trim. For a deep tank that is loaded through a manhole at the mid-length of the tank, the vessel should be in level trim to fill the tank to maximum capacity. This allows the oil to evenly distribute and fill the tank without any trim or list that could prevent the tank from being completely filled. The other options, such as being down by the bow or stern, would create an uneven distribution of the oil within the tank and prevent it from being filled to the maximum capacity.
