Question 4894 Deck General

70% to pass

For a MODU with transverse inclination, an increase in GMT causes _______________.

A list to stabilize at an angle of loll
B list to decrease
C trim to decrease
D list to increase
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) list to decrease. When a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) has a transverse inclination, an increase in the metacentric height (GMT) will cause the list (transverse inclination) to decrease. This is because an increase in GMT results in a more stable condition, with the vessel being less inclined to list. The other options are incorrect - an increase in GMT will not cause the list to stabilize at an angle of loll (A), nor will it cause the trim to decrease (C), or the list to increase (D).
