Question 4350 Deck General

70% to pass

The maximum transverse extension of the cantilever for the COASTAL DRILLER places the rotary _______________.

A at the vessel TCG
B within 10 feet of the centerline
C 40 feet aft of the transom
D at the leg centroid
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) within 10 feet of the centerline. The maximum transverse extension of the cantilever for the COASTAL DRILLER places the rotary within 10 feet of the centerline. This is likely due to stability and balance requirements for the vessel's design and operation. Placing the rotary too far off-center could negatively impact the vessel's stability and handling characteristics. The other options are incorrect because: A) Placing the rotary at the vessel's TCG (Transverse Center of Gravity) would not meet the 10-foot centerline requirement. C) Placing the rotary 40 feet aft of the transom is too far back and would not align with the cantilever's maximum transverse extension. D) Placing the rotary at the leg centroid is not specified as the requirement in this case.
