Question 2428 Deck Safety
70% to passUse the floodable length curve in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book. If the curve represents 45 percent permeability, and holds 2 and 3 flood, the vessel will sink if the permeability exceeds what percent?
A
37
B
31
C
26
D
23
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 37 percent. The floodable length curve in Section 1 of the Stability Data Reference Book represents the maximum allowable permeability for the vessel to remain afloat. If the permeability exceeds 37 percent, the vessel will sink when 2 and 3 flood compartments are flooded, as indicated by the 45 percent permeability curve. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the 37 percent permeability threshold represented by the floodable length curve for the given flooding scenario.
