Question 4434 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 500 kips. The explanation is as follows: 1. The correct answer is C) 500 kips. This answer correctly identifies the maximum amount of pipe that can be placed in the cantilever pipe rack area when the cantilever has been extended 40 feet aft of the transom. 2. The 500 kips limit is based on the structural capacity of the cantilever pipe rack and the regulations governing the safe operation of the COASTAL DRILLER. These regulations specify the maximum safe load that can be placed on the cantilever to ensure the stability and integrity of the vessel. 3. The other options, A) 630 kips, B) 609 kips, and D) 479 kips, are incorrect as they either exceed or fall short of the 500 kips limit established by the relevant regulations.
