Which data is NOT used in the Allowable Wind and Wave Charts for the COASTAL DRILLER?

A Total weight
B Leg penetration
C Wave height
D Current
AI Explanation

You are correct, the answer is A) Total weight. The Allowable Wind and Wave Charts for the COASTAL DRILLER do not use the total weight of the vessel as a data input. These charts are based on factors such as wave height, current, and leg penetration, which affect the stability and safe operation of the vessel. Total weight is not a direct factor in determining the allowable wind and wave conditions for the COASTAL DRILLER. The other options, B) Leg penetration, C) Wave height, and D) Current, are all relevant factors that are considered in the Allowable Wind and Wave Charts, as they impact the vessel's stability and ability to withstand environmental conditions safely.
