Question 2268Deck General70% to pass
You are bound from port A governed by the summer load line mark to port B also governed by the summer mark. The great circle track will take you into a zone governed by the winter mark. Which statement is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D.
The explanation is as follows:
When a vessel is bound from one port governed by the summer load line mark to another port also governed by the summer mark, and the great circle track will take the vessel into a zone governed by the winter mark, the vessel must be at the winter mark when entering the winter zone and cannot exceed the summer mark upon departing the origin port. This is in accordance with the Load Line Convention, which requires vessels to comply with the most restrictive load line when navigating between different load line zones.
The other options are incorrect because they do not fully adhere to the Load Line Convention requirements for navigating between different load line zones.
