Question 1937Deck Safety70% to pass
Panting frames are located in the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) fore and after peaks.
Panting frames are located in the fore and after peaks of a vessel, which are the spaces at the very front and very back of the ship's hull. These frames help provide structural support and prevent the hull from deforming or "panting" (flexing) under the stresses of waves and motion.
The other options are incorrect because: A) centerline tanks are not where panting frames are located, B) the after double bottom is underneath the aft part of the ship, not in the fore or after peaks, and D) the forward double bottom is also not where panting frames are found.
