Question 4235 Deck General

The correct answer is A) go to port. When a twin-screw vessel is going ahead with the rudders amidships, and the port screw stops turning, the bow will go to port. This is because with the port screw not providing thrust, the starboard screw will become the dominant source of thrust, causing the bow to swing to the port side. The other options are incorrect because B) the bow would not first go to port and then to starboard, C) the bow would not go to starboard, and D) the bow would not remain steady without veering to either side.
