Question 1822 Deck Safety

70% to pass

In accordance with SOLAS the Master of a vessel is required to have specific stability information at their disposal. Which of the following is part of the requirement?

A procedures outlining the preparation for the original inclining test
B stability information for dry-docking the vessel
C information to maintain the required intact stability after damage
D curves indicating speed of advance for varying loads and sea conditions
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) information to maintain the required intact stability after damage. The SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) convention requires the master of a vessel to have access to stability information that will allow them to maintain the required intact stability of the ship after a damage event. This is crucial for the safety of the vessel and its crew in the event of a collision, grounding, or other incident that could compromise the ship's stability. The other answer choices, while potentially relevant to stability, are not part of the specific SOLAS requirement for the master to have access to information on maintaining intact stability after damage.
