Question 4448 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 40.00 feet aft of the transom. The maximum aft extension of the cantilever on the COASTAL DRILLER places the rotary 40.00 feet aft of the transom. This is a specific design parameter for the COASTAL DRILLER platform, as the location of the rotary in relation to the transom is a critical factor in the stability and safe operation of the vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the actual aft extension of the cantilever and the position of the rotary on the COASTAL DRILLER. Knowing the precise location of the rotary is essential for proper load distribution, weight management, and overall vessel stability, which are crucial considerations for the safe operation of a coastal driller.
