Second Officer Exam: Ship Stability

This document contains an examination for the rank of Second Officer (GT≥500) with questions on ship stability and construction. The exam has two parts, with Part A containing three questions on ship stability calculations involving loading conditions, statical stability curves, and a list caused by lost cargo. Part B has three questions, one requiring a diagram of bilge pumping arrangements, another defining several ship design terms, and a final question involving a labeled sketch of a crude oil tanker's half midship cross-section.
