are vertically designed watertight divisions/walls within the ship’s structure to avoid ingress of water in the compartment if the adjacent compartment is flooded due to damage in ship’s hull.

Which statement is correct about collision bulkhead?

As per Solas rules, Which statement is true regarding collision bulkhead?

are made of plates having uniform thickness which is, the thickness equal to the lower most strake in case of a conventional bulkhead.

For bulk carriers, in order to prevent accumulation of cargo at the base of the corrugations, the lower end of the bulkheads are provided with angular plates called

After installation of the bulkheads, they are to be tested for their integrity and water tightness. Since it is not feasible to fill all the cargo holds or compartments with water for this purpose, the test is done by which of the following?

 can also be done by pressurising the air in a compartment and checking for leakage of air to the other compartment.

The dimensions of the opening are kept to the minimum. An opening results in a major structural discontinuity, resulting in stress concentration around the opening. To maintain stress levels below safety limits, the opening is strengthened by which of the following.

Which of the statement is true about Watertight doors?

Which of the statement is correct as per SOLAS Rules Pertaining to Watertight Bulkheads One of the most important regulations to be complied with during the design of watertight bulkheads and doors are that of SOLAS. I. The number of openings for pipes and access should be kept to minimum in order to retain the strength of the bulkhead. II. In case such openings are provided, proper reinforcement must be provided so as to prevent stress concentration, and retain water tightness of the structure. III. Proper flanging must be incorporated in openings for pipelines and cables.

is the division of the ship’s interior into smaller spaces using structural members.

is the backbone of the ship.

Which part of the ships are crucial for controlling fires and floods, and improves a ship’s resistance to sinking.

are categorized as quick-acting or individually dogged, with the latter providing access to compartments that do not require rapid access.

Which part of the ships are used to create independent sections within a ship. provide extra stiffening and help to keep the ship afloat in the event of flooding or other damage.

is crucial for maintaining the safety and stability of a ship. By ensuring that all compartments are properly sealed and watertight, the risk of flooding and sinking can be greatly reduced.

Which type of bulkhead that run perpendicular to the ship's centerline and divide the ship into smaller sections?

Which type of bulkhead that run parallel to the centerline and provide additional stiffness to the hull?

doors that can be closed rapidly to prevent flooding in the event of a hull breach. They are typically found in areas of the ship that require immediate closure, such as engine rooms and ammunition storage areas?

A partially filled tank is known as a “slack tank”. The reduction of stability caused by the liquids in slack tanks is known as

What keeps  a  ship  afloat  and stable?

An international code develop by  international maritime organization(IMO) to ensure safety of the ship?

The stability of a ship is affected by various factor, which of the statement is correct?

Which of the  statement is correct about stable equilibrium?

Which of the ff. Statement is true  about neutral equilbrium?

Which of the ff. Statement is correct about unstable equilibrium?

widely recognized as the industry standard for ensuring the safe operation of ships at sea.

refers to the ability of a ship to remain watertight even in the event of flooding or damage.

To prevent capsizing, ships must maintain a minimum value of GM and GZ. This can be achieved by reducing which of the ff. Statement is correct? I. The weight of the upper deck or increasing the ballast, which lowers the center of gravity. II. Limiting the speed of the vessel in rough weather. III. Adjusting the course to minimize the impact of waves. IV. overloading the ship beyond its maximum capacity.

is the phenomenon that occurs when a liquid in a partially filled tank shifts as the ship rolls, creating a destabilizing force. This effect is particularly dangerous in tanks with large cross-sectional areas, such as ballast tanks.
