Quiz 5A - Week 2

What does the 'S' load line stand for?

• Summer
  

• Standard
  

• Ship
  

• Safe

The Winter North Atlantic load line is assigned to ships:

• 100 meters or less
  

• Over 200 meters
  

• With ice-class hulls
  

• In arctic zones

FWA refers to:

• Fresh Water Allowance
  

• Fuel Weight Analysis
  

• Freeboard Water Angle
  

• Floatation Weight Adjustment

DWA is a fraction of:

• FWA
  

• TPC
  

• Draught
  

• Displacement

Load lines should be:

• Clearly and permanently marked
  

• Painted only during dry dock
  

• Marked by tape
  

• Updated monthly

FWA is calculated using:

• Displacement ÷ (4 × TPC)
  

• 4 × TPC ÷ Displacement
  

• TPC × 4 × Draught
  

• Length × Beam

When moving from salt to fresh water, the ship will:

• Sink
  

• Rise
  

• Remain stable
  

• Capsize

The main goal of applying FWA/DWA is to:

• Maximize safe loading
  

• Reduce engine noise
  

• Adjust ballast tanks
  

• Calculate propeller rpm

If dock water is less dense than salt water, a ship will:

• Rise on reaching sea
  

• Sink deeper at dock
  

• Tilt sideways
  

• Stay unchanged

Load line marks appear on:

• Both sides of the ship
  

• Only port side
  

• Deck
  

• Only stern
