What is the purpose of a "load line" on a vessel?

D) It identifies the location of the engine room

A) It marks the maximum draft for cargo holds

C) It shows the maximum speed of the vessel

B) It indicates the maximum legal draft for safe loading in different water conditions

2 / 10

What does "breadth" measure on a vessel?

B) The width of the vessel at its widest point

D) The depth of the hull

A) The total height from the keel to the deck

C) The length of the cargo hold

3 / 10

What does LOA (Length Overall) refer to in the context of a vessel?

B) The total length of the vessel from the forward-most to the aft-most point

A) The length of the hull from the forward perpendicular to the aft perpendicular

D) The length of the keel

C) The length of the vessel’s cargo hold

4 / 10

Why is the load line important for a vessel's safety?

B) It marks where the anchor is located

D) It measures the vessel’s speed

A) It allows unlimited loading

C) It ensures the vessel does not exceed safe loading limits, preventing excessive submersion

5 / 10

Why is LOA an important measurement for a vessel?

A) It determines crew capacity

D) It measures the vessel's depth

B) It affects berthing and docking arrangements

C) It indicates the width of the vessel

6 / 10

What does "draught" measure on a vessel?

B) The height of the vessel’s mast

C) The width of the deck

A) The distance from the keel to the waterline

D) The length between the forward and aft perpendiculars

7 / 10

Why is draught an important consideration when navigating a vessel?

B) It affects the vessel’s ability to pass through shallow waters

D) It determines the vessel’s engine capacity

A) It reduces fuel consumption

C) It increases the vessel’s width

8 / 10

What does "displacement" mean in terms of a vessel’s size?

A) The weight of the vessel when empty

C) The volume of cargo the vessel can carry

D) The length of the vessel

B) The weight of water displaced by the vessel when fully loaded

9 / 10

Why is breadth (beam) significant in vessel design?

C) It increases the vessel’s speed

D) It defines the mast height

B) It only determines the length of the keel

A) It affects the vessel’s stability and cargo-carrying capacity

10 / 10

Why is displacement a critical measurement for vessel stability?

B) It helps determine the load-bearing capacity and buoyancy

D) It affects only the vessel’s speed

A) It reduces the vessel’s length

C) It measures the engine’s power output
