Question 1910 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) transversely framed. A vessel with continuous closely spaced transverse strength members is considered to be transversely framed. This means that the primary strength members that run perpendicular to the keel and hull are the transverse frames, rather than longitudinal framing members that run parallel to the keel. The other options are incorrect because: A) Longitudinally framed vessels have the primary strength members running parallel to the keel. C) Cellular framing refers to a structure with both transverse and longitudinal members, creating a grid-like pattern. D) Web framing is a specific type of transverse framing that uses a web-like structure.
