Question 2116Deck Safety70% to pass
A vessel is "listed" when it is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) inclined due to an off-center weight.
A vessel is "listed" when it is inclined or leaning to one side due to an uneven distribution of weight on board. This off-center weight causes the vessel to tilt or list to that side. The other answer choices do not accurately describe a "listed" vessel. A vessel that is "down by the head" or "down by the stern" refers to the draft or depth of the vessel being unequal at the bow and stern, not a list to the side. Incline due to wind is more accurately described as the vessel "heeling" rather than "listing".
