When loading your vessel, how should the weight of cargo and passengers be distributed?

  1. Evenly throughout the vessel

  2. All at the front

  3. All at the back

  4. On one side

The correct answer is: Evenly throughout the vessel

The weight of cargo and passengers should be distributed evenly throughout the vessel to ensure proper balance and stability while sailing. Placing all the weight at the front or back of the vessel can cause it to tilt dangerously and potentially capsize. Similarly, loading all the weight on one side of the vessel can also lead to imbalance and tipping. Distributing the weight evenly helps to maintain stability and prevent accidents while sailing. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
