Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #2699 (Set 81)

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 14'-11", AFT 15'-09"; and the KG is 18.2 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the angle of list if the center of gravity is shifted 2.0 feet off the centerline.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — 12°

Reference to the vessel's stability curves within the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book establishes the righting characteristics for the stated draft and an 18.2-foot KG. A 2.0-foot transverse center of gravity shift intersects these curves at a 12-degree list angle.
