Question 4698 Deck General
70% to passThe stability which exists after the unintentional flooding of a compartment on a MODU is called _______________.
A
initial stability
B
intact stability
C
immersion stability
D
damage stability
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) damage stability. Damage stability refers to the stability that exists after the unintentional flooding of a compartment on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit). This is in contrast to intact stability, which is the stability of the vessel in its normal, unflooded condition. The other options are incorrect because initial stability refers to the vessel's stability at the start of a turn or other maneuver, and immersion stability is the stability of a vessel when partially submerged, which is not the same as the stability after compartment flooding.
