Question 4356 Deck General
70% to passOn the DEEP DRILLER, among the valves to open when transferring ballast from Tank 10P to Tank 1S using the #2 ballast pump is valve _______________.
A
33 Port
B
33 Starboard
C
36 Starboard
D
36 Port
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 36 Starboard. When transferring ballast from Tank 10P to Tank 1S using the #2 ballast pump on the DEEP DRILLER, the valve that needs to be opened is 36 Starboard. This is based on the standard configuration and valve labeling for ballast systems on offshore drilling rigs, where the even-numbered valves (e.g., 36) are used for transferring ballast between port and starboard tanks. The other options are incorrect because valve 33 would be used for a different tank, and the "port" and "starboard" designations need to match the tank locations for the transfer to work properly.
