Question 4837 Deck General

The correct answer is D. The explanation is as follows: 1. The question states that the DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load form #3 (Preparing to Drill). This implies that the liquid mud mentioned in the question is part of the original load configuration, as depicted in the Sample Load form. 2. The question asks what will happen if all the liquid mud (see table 8) is removed. Since the liquid mud is part of the original load, removing it will affect the vessel's stability. The correct answer is D, as the vessel's stability will be reduced. 3. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the effect of removing the liquid mud from the original load configuration. Option A (no change) is incorrect, as removing the liquid mud will affect the vessel's stability. Options B (stability increased) and C (stability unchanged) are also incorrect, as the stability will be reduced. 4. In summary, the correct answer is D, as removing the liquid mud from the original load configuration will reduce the vessel's stability.
