Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #2696 (Set 81)

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 17'-09", AFT 18'-03"; and the KG is 22.4 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 1.5 feet off the centerline.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 22°

Using the hydrostatic and cross-curve stability tables in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book, a 1.5-foot transverse center of gravity shift at the given draft and KG produces an intersecting righting moment resulting in a 22-degree list.
