For a MODU with list, an increase in GMT will cause the inclination to _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) decrease.
An increase in GMT (Metacentric Height) for a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) with list will cause the inclination to decrease. This is because an increase in GMT provides more stability, which counteracts the list and reduces the angle of inclination.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) Increasing GMT does not cause the vessel to stabilize at a specific angle of loll.
B) Increasing GMT decreases the inclination, it does not increase it.
C) Increasing GMT affects the inclination, it does not keep it constant.
