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

D) It identifies the location of the engine room

C) It shows the maximum speed of the vessel

A) It marks the maximum draft for cargo holds

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

2 / 10

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

A) It allows unlimited loading

3 / 10

Why is draught an important consideration when navigating a vessel?

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

C) It increases the vessel’s width

A) It reduces fuel consumption

D) It determines the vessel’s engine capacity

4 / 10

What does "breadth" measure on a vessel?

C) The length of the cargo hold

B) The width of the vessel at its widest point

A) The total height from the keel to the deck

D) The depth of the hull

5 / 10

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

C) The length of the vessel’s cargo hold

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

6 / 10

Why is displacement a critical measurement for vessel stability?

D) It affects only the vessel’s speed

D) The length of the vessel

C) The volume of cargo the vessel can carry

10 / 10

Why is breadth (beam) significant in vessel design?

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

C) It increases the vessel’s speed
