Question 2770 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 22°. To determine the angle of list, you need to use the stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. Given the vessel's drafts and KG, you can locate the appropriate stability curve and find the angle of list when the center of gravity is shifted 1.4 feet off the centerline. The stability curve that corresponds to the provided draft and KG indicates an angle of list of approximately 22 degrees, making B) the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the angle of list based on the provided vessel characteristics and the stability curve data. Option A) 18° is too low, while options C) 26° and D) 30° are too high for the given scenario.
