A It is marked above line B in the diagram.
B It is applied to vessels on restricted trade routes between the United Kingdom, Iceland, and Northern European countries.
C It applies only to vessels not exceeding 328 ft. navigating in the Winter North Atlantic zones.
D It is carried on VLCC/ULCC type vessels and allows reduced freeboard considering their size.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) It applies only to vessels not exceeding 328 ft. navigating in the Winter North Atlantic zones. This is correct because the Winter North Atlantic load line is a special load line mark that applies only to smaller vessels (not exceeding 328 ft or 100 meters) navigating in the designated Winter North Atlantic zones during the winter season. It allows for a reduced freeboard compared to the normal load line to account for the harsher weather conditions in those regions. The other options are incorrect because: A) the Winter North Atlantic line is not marked above line B, B) it applies to all vessels navigating in the specified regions, not just restricted trade routes, and D) it is not exclusive to VLCC/ULCC type vessels.
