Question 283Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passThe difference between the starboard and port drafts caused by a transverse shift in weight is called _______________.
Atrim
Bsquat
Cflotation
Dlist
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) list. The difference between the starboard and port drafts caused by a transverse shift in weight is called a list. A list is the angle of tilt of a vessel caused by an uneven distribution of weight from side to side. This is different from trim, which is the difference in draft between the bow and stern, and squat, which is the increase in draft caused by a vessel's forward motion through the water. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the situation presented in the question. Flotation refers to the buoyancy of a vessel, not the difference in drafts.
