Question 611 Deck Safety
70% to passWhen a vessel has grounded which of the following could result from the forces acting upward on the bottom?
A
the vessel could heel to one side
B
the vessel could take on a list
C
the trim of the vessel could change
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. When a vessel grounds, the forces acting upward on the bottom can result in the vessel heeling to one side, taking on a list, and experiencing a change in trim. This is because the grounding creates an uneven distribution of weight and buoyancy, leading to these stability issues. The other options are incorrect because they only describe a subset of the potential effects. Grounding can impact a vessel in multiple ways, not just one specific stability factor.
