Question 4721 Deck General
70% to passHow much non-liquid deck load can the DEEP DRILLER, loaded as shown in the sample Load Form #4 (Drilling), accept if the weight is placed at a VCG of 130 feet? Ballast added or discharged to maintain draft at 60 feet is done so at 10 feet.
A
461.9 long tons
B
457.5 long tons
C
388.8 long tons
D
323.1 long tons
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 457.5 long tons. The reasoning is as follows: 1) The question states that the weight is placed at a VCG (vertical center of gravity) of 130 feet. 2) With the ballast added or discharged to maintain a draft of 60 feet at 10 feet, the total non-liquid deck load that the DEEP DRILLER can accept is 457.5 long tons, as per the information provided in the sample Load Form #4 (Drilling). 3) The other options are incorrect because they do not match the specific information given in the Load Form #4 for the DEEP DRILLER with the stated VCG and ballast conditions.
