Question 2238Deck Safety70% to pass
Using the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book, determine the danger angle for permanent list if the KG is 22.2 feet and the drafts are: FWD 23'-06", AFT 24'-03".
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 26°.
The danger angle for permanent list can be determined using the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). With a KG of 22.2 feet and drafts of 23'-06" forward and 24'-03" aft, the danger angle is 26°.
The other options are incorrect because: B) 30° is too high, C) 34° is too high, and D) 53° is significantly too high for the given vessel characteristics. The Stability Data Reference Book provides the appropriate table and methodology to determine the correct danger angle of 26° for this scenario.
