Question 2527 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Tropical fresh water load line. The letter B in illustration D003DG indicates the tropical fresh water load line, which is the load line applicable when the vessel is loaded in fresh water in tropical zones. This is in accordance with the International Convention on Load Lines, which specifies the different load lines a vessel must adhere to based on the water density and geographic zone. The other options are incorrect because the timber summer load line (A) is a separate load line for timber-carrying vessels, the tropical load line (B) is for salt water in tropical zones, and the summer load line (D) is for salt water in temperate zones, rather than the specific tropical fresh water load line indicated by the letter B in the given illustration.
