Question 1769 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) Press up an after, slack, centerline double bottom tank. The key reasons are: 1) The vessel is listing to port and trimmed down by the head, indicating the need to correct the list and trim. 2) Pressing up an after, slack, centerline double bottom tank will help to raise the bow and reduce the list to port by redistributing the weight within the vessel. 3) The other options, such as jettisoning cargo or anchors, would not directly address the listing and trimming issues. 4) Pumping out the forepeak tank may help, but pressing up a centerline tank is a more direct way to correct the vessel's stability.
