Show the answer
Correct answer: b) What is your draft aft?
Why it is correct
In the IMO SMCP, bow and stern draughts are expressed using 'forward' and 'aft': 'What is your draft forward / aft?'. Therefore, '¿Cuál es su calado a popa?' is 'What is your draft aft?'.
Why the others are not
- a) Standard SMCP phrasing uses the nautical adverb 'aft' rather than 'at the stern'.
- c) 'Forward' means at the bow ('calado a proa').
- d) 'Mean draft' means 'calado medio'.
How to work it out in the exam
- ¿Cuál es su calado a popa? = What is your draft aft?
