Deck General USCG Question #492 (Set 15)

A vessel has an amidships superstructure. Which location would be most suitable for main deck stowage of vehicles?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — On top of the hatch immediately aft of the midships house

Stowing vehicles on the hatch immediately aft of the midships house provides optimal protection from direct green water impacts while maintaining longitudinal trim and structural stress limits, consistent with sound vessel cargo securing and deck stowage practices.
