2. Loading conditions: This section focuses on understanding the effects of different loading conditions, including the distribution of cargo, fuel, and ballast water, on a vessel`s stability and trim. It may also cover topics such as free surface effect and the use of stability information booklets.

3. Stability calculations: This part of the exam assesses your ability to perform stability calculations, such as determining the vessel`s draft, trim, and stability characteristics under various conditions. It may involve using stability software or manually calculating stability parameters.

4. Intact stability criteria: This covers the regulations and requirements regarding intact stability, including stability criteria for different types of vessels, stability booklets, and stability-related regulations.

5. Damage stability: This section focuses on understanding the principles of damage stability, including watertight integrity, subdivision, and the ability of a vessel to withstand flooding and maintain stability in case of damage.

6. Stability-related emergency procedures: This part of the exam assesses your knowledge of emergency procedures related to stability, such as procedures for dealing with a flooding or grounding situation and taking corrective actions to maintain stability.
