Question 2533 Deck General

The correct answer is A) You must load so that each zone mark will not be submerged upon entering the zone. This is correct because when transiting between load line zones, the vessel must not be loaded deeper than the applicable load line mark for that zone. The tropical load line mark applies in the tropical zone, while the winter mark applies in the winter zone. The vessel must be loaded so that neither the tropical nor the winter mark is submerged at any point during the voyage. The other options are incorrect because B) and D) would allow the vessel to be loaded deeper than the applicable load line mark, which is not permitted, while C) does not account for the need to observe the load line marks throughout the entire voyage.
