Question 4370 Deck General
70% to passThe DEEP DRILLER, at 58.0 feet draft in sea water, discharges 200 long tons. What is the new displacement?
A
16,263 long tons
B
17,642 long tons
C
17,842 long tons
D
18,118 long tons
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 17,642 long tons. To calculate the new displacement, we need to add the weight of the discharged cargo (200 long tons) to the existing displacement. The given draft of 58.0 feet in sea water corresponds to the original displacement. By adding the 200 long tons discharged, the new displacement becomes 17,642 long tons. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in displacement due to the 200 long tons being discharged. Options A, C, and D do not correctly account for the change in displacement.
