Question 1814 Deck Safety

70% to pass

The best information on the location of the blocks when dry docking a vessel is contained in the _______________.

A ship's docking plan
B general arrangement plan
C docking diagram
D shell expansion plan
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) ship's docking plan. The ship's docking plan contains the most detailed information on the location and positioning of blocks when dry docking a vessel. This plan is specifically designed to provide the precise placement of keel blocks, bilge blocks, and other support points to ensure the vessel is properly and safely supported during the dry docking process. The other options are incorrect because they do not contain the same level of specific detail on block placement. The general arrangement plan provides an overview of the vessel's layout, the shell expansion plan shows the development of the hull plating, and the docking diagram may only provide a general diagram of the docking procedure, without the detailed block positioning information.
