Question 2768 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 12°. To determine the angle of list, we can use the stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. Given the vessel's drafts and KG, we can locate the appropriate stability curve and then find the angle of list corresponding to a 1.0 foot shift in the center of gravity off the centerline. Based on the information provided, the stability curve indicates that the angle of list would be 12 degrees. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the angle of list based on the provided vessel characteristics and the stability curve data. Option A (9°) is too low, while options C (15°) and D (17°) are too high for the given scenario.
