70% to pass

Until a change to lightweight has been approved, the weights and moments shown in the Changes to Lightweight Record of the COASTAL DRILLER are treated as _______________.

A stationary loads
B variable loads
C fixed loads
D basic loads
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) variable loads. According to the regulations, until a change to the vessel's lightweight has been approved, the weights and moments shown in the Changes to Lightweight Record of the COASTAL DRILLER must be treated as variable loads. This means that these weights and moments can fluctuate or change over time, rather than being considered fixed or stationary. The other options are incorrect because: A) stationary loads implies the weights and moments do not change, which is not the case; C) fixed loads also implies the weights and moments are constant, which is not accurate; and D) basic loads is not the appropriate term for this situation.
