If a severe storm threatens the COASTAL DRILLER while elevated as shown in the Sample Load Form #3 (Drilling), the variable loads would have to be reduced by _______________.

A 3,282.5 kips

B 2,381.0 kips

C 1,000.0 kips

D 901.5 kips

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 1,000.0 kips. The reasoning is that during a severe storm, the variable loads on an elevated drilling platform, such as the COASTAL DRILLER, would need to be reduced by 1,000.0 kips to maintain stability and safety. This is a standard requirement in the regulations governing the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations for offshore drilling operations. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the standard reduction in variable loads required for a severe storm scenario. Options A, B, and D do not align with the regulatory requirements for safe offshore drilling platform operations.
