Question 349 Deck General

The correct answer is B) the vessel has a list of about 1° to starboard. The white trimming light on the starboard side indicates that the vessel has a slight list, or tilt, to the starboard side, typically around 1°. This is a normal condition during cargo loading and does not necessarily require an immediate cessation of loading operations. The white trimming light is designed to alert the crew to monitor the vessel's stability and make adjustments as needed. The other answer choices are incorrect because A) and D) describe actions to take in response to a list, rather than what the white light indicates, and C) describes a severe list, which is not indicated by the white trimming light.
