Question 324Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief70% to pass
As Chief Engineer or First Assistant Engineer you should be familiar with the six motions of a vessel. Which of these motions affects the governing "transverse" stability?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Roll.
The roll motion of a vessel affects its transverse stability, which is the ship's ability to resist overturning forces acting perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Roll motion is the rotation of the vessel around its longitudinal axis, and this motion directly impacts the vessel's transverse stability. The other motions listed (pitch, sway, and surge) do not directly affect transverse stability in the same way that roll motion does.
