Question 4739 Deck General

The correct answer is A) KMT less than KGT. A semisubmersible vessel that flops between port and starboard angles of list is likely to have a KMT (transverse metacentric height) that is less than its KGT (height of the center of gravity above the keel). This means that the vessel's metacenter is positioned below the center of gravity, making it inherently unstable and prone to rolling from side to side. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly address the relationship between KMT and KGT that is characteristic of a semisubmersible with this type of unstable behavior.
