| Your vessel has been damaged in a grounding and one compartment has partially flooded. As a result, you have lost buoyancy. If transverse stability in the flooded condition is poor or negative, every effort should be made to reduce the free surface and to lower the center of gravity. Which of the following should you ensure is maintained? |
| A) Ballast is maintained in the pre-grounding state. |
| B) A GM that is at least neutral - G moved down to be at M. |
| C) As much reserve buoyancy as possible. |
| D) A no list condition. |
