Question 3402 Deck General

The correct answer is A) satisfactory, continue tripping. The reasoning is that the full period of motion (10 seconds) and the maximum pitch angle (4 degrees) are within the acceptable limits for critical motions during tripping operations. This indicates that the vessel's motions are not excessive and can be safely continued without the need for additional actions like placing the setback in the pipe racks, deballasting to survival draft, or putting the unit in standby. The other options are incorrect because the vessel's motions are not unsatisfactory, and there is no need to take the more drastic measures suggested in answers B, C, and D.
