Question 567 Deck General

70% to pass

A list signal of one white light indicates that the vessel is _______________.

A listing over 5° with the light displayed on the high side
B on an even keel
C listing, and the chutes should be directed to the side where the light is displayed
D listing about 1° to the side the light is displayed on
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) listing about 1° to the side the light is displayed on. The one white light signal indicates that the vessel is listing, or tilting, to one side by approximately 1 degree. The light is displayed on the high side of the listing vessel to provide a visual indicator of the list. This allows other vessels to be aware of the vessel's stability and potentially precarious condition. The other options are incorrect because: A) a list of over 5 degrees would require multiple lights, not just one; B) an even keel would not require a list signal; and C) the chutes should be directed to the low side, not the side the light is displayed on.
