70% to pass

The COASTAL DRILLER's ability to meet the damage stability criteria depends on maintaining a watertight integrity, KGL and KGT less than maximum allowed, level attitude, and displacement less than _______________.

A 11,777 kips
B 13,158 kips
C 14,158 kips
D 17,280 kips
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 14,158 kips. The COASTAL DRILLER's ability to meet the damage stability criteria depends on maintaining a watertight integrity, KGL (longitudinal center of gravity) and KGT (vertical center of gravity) less than the maximum allowed, level attitude, and displacement less than 14,158 kips. This displacement limit is specified in the applicable regulations for this type of vessel to ensure it can meet the required damage stability criteria. The other options are incorrect because 11,777 kips (A) and 13,158 kips (B) are not the correct displacement limit, while 17,280 kips (D) exceeds the maximum allowed displacement for this vessel.
