70% to pass

The DEEP DRILLER is planning to operate while loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #3 ( Preparing to Drill). What is the margin between KGT and maximum allowable KG?

A 0.66 foot
B 2.58 feet
C 5.24 feet
D 7.87 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 5.24 feet. The margin between the vessel's Vertical Center of Gravity (KG) and the maximum allowable KG is calculated based on the information provided in the Sample Load Form #3. The maximum allowable KG is determined by the vessel's stability criteria, and the actual KG is calculated from the given loading condition. The difference between the maximum allowable KG and the actual KG is the margin, which in this case is 5.24 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated margin based on the information provided in the sample load form.
