70% to pass

The DEEP DRILLER is planning to operate while loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #3 ( Preparing to Drill). What is the margin between KGT and maximum allowable KG?

A 0.66 foot
B 2.58 feet
C 5.24 feet
D 7.87 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 5.24 feet. The key to determining the correct answer is to calculate the margin between the vessel's KGT (Vertical Center of Gravity) and the maximum allowable KG, as specified in the sample load form. From the load form, the KGT is given as 16.56 feet. The maximum allowable KG is 21.80 feet. The margin between these two values is 21.80 feet - 16.56 feet = 5.24 feet, which matches the correct answer choice C. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the margin between the vessel's KGT and the maximum allowable KG based on the information provided in the sample load form.
