Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #2697 (Set 81)

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 21'-09", AFT 23'-03"; and the KG is 20.0 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 1.9 feet off the centerline.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — 19°

Consulting the stability data curves in the blue pages for the specified draft and a KG of 20.0 feet, a transverse center of gravity shift of 1.9 feet corresponds directly to an equilibrium list angle of 19 degrees.
