Question 4373 Deck General
70% to passThe DEEP DRILLER is operating at the maximum allowable KGT at 60 feet draft. What is the value of GMT?
A
0.05 foot
B
1.02 feet
C
2.63 feet
D
4.34 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 4.34 feet. When a vessel is operating at the maximum allowable KGT (Keel to Gravity Transverse) at a given draft, the value of GMT (Metacentric Height Transverse) can be calculated using the formula GMT = KGT - draft. Since the DEEP DRILLER is operating at the maximum allowable KGT of 60 feet at a 60-foot draft, the GMT can be calculated as 60 feet - 60 feet = 4.34 feet, which corresponds to the correct answer D. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value of GMT based on the given information about the vessel's operating conditions.
