Question 2208 Deck Safety
70% to passThe ship's tanks most effective for trimming are the _______________.
A
settlers
B
domestics
C
deeps
D
peaks
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) peaks. The ship's peak tanks are the most effective for trimming because they are located at the extreme forward and aft ends of the vessel. Adjusting the amount of ballast water in the peak tanks allows the ship's bow and stern to be raised or lowered, which helps maintain the proper trim and stability of the vessel. The other tank types, such as settlers, domestics, and deeps, are located closer to the midship section and are not as effective for fine-tuning the ship's trim.
