70% to pass

The transverse distance between draft marks for the DEEP DRILLER is _______________.

A 122'-09"
B 164'-00"
C 217'-01"
D 260'-05"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 122'-09". The transverse distance between draft marks is determined by the length of the vessel. According to Coast Guard regulations, for vessels under 200 feet in length, the transverse distance between draft marks must be at least 122 feet and 9 inches. Since the DEEP DRILLER is listed as the vessel in question, and it is under 200 feet in length, the correct transverse distance between its draft marks is 122 feet and 9 inches. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the regulatory requirement for a vessel under 200 feet in length. Options B, C, and D all specify distances greater than 122 feet and 9 inches, which would not be the correct transverse distance for the DEEP DRILLER.
