Question 2120Deck Safety70% to pass
Your vessel has just finished bunkering and has a small list due to improper distribution of the fuel oil. This list will cause _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) None of the above.
A small list due to improper fuel oil distribution would not cause the vessel to "flop to port and starboard" (option A), decrease the maximum draft (option B), or decrease the reserve buoyancy (option C). A list is simply a temporary tilt or angle of the vessel to one side, and does not fundamentally alter the vessel's stability, draft, or buoyancy characteristics. The list would need to be corrected through proper redistribution of the fuel oil to restore the vessel's even keel, but the list itself does not directly cause any of the effects described in the answer choices.
