Question 4586 Deck General

The correct answer is B) stability. The motions of a vessel during normal transit are primarily limited by its stability, not by the leg strength of the crew, wave heights, or deck edge immersion. Vessel stability is a critical factor that determines how the ship will respond to environmental conditions like wind and waves. As long as the wind speeds are less than 70 knots, the stability of the COASTAL DRILLER, rather than other factors, will be the main constraint on its motions during a normal transit. The other answer choices are incorrect because leg strength, wave heights, and deck edge immersion are not the primary factors limiting the vessel's motions in this scenario.
