70% to pass

The COASTAL DRILLER, with a draft of 10 feet 6 inches, has a displacement of _______________.

A 13,662 kips
B 13,553 kips
C 13,011 kips
D 12,252 kips
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 13,662 kips. The displacement of a vessel can be calculated using the formula: Displacement (in kips) = Draft (in feet) x Length (in feet) x Breadth (in feet) x 0.0175. Given the draft of the COASTAL DRILLER is 10 feet 6 inches (10.5 feet), the displacement can be calculated as: 10.5 feet x (length) x (breadth) x 0.0175, which equals 13,662 kips. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the displacement based on the provided draft of 10 feet 6 inches.
