Question 4922 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 65 feet. The maximum allowed KG (Vertical Center of Gravity) for a vessel in ocean transit at a draft of 10 feet is determined by stability regulations. The relevant regulation is typically the International Convention on Loadlines (ICLL), which specifies the maximum KG based on the vessel's draft and other factors to ensure adequate stability. At a draft of 10 feet, the maximum allowed KG is 65 feet, as stated in the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the regulatory requirements for a vessel in ocean transit at a 10-foot draft. Specifically, 42 feet (option A), 44 feet (option B), and 70 feet (option D) would not meet the stability criteria set forth in the ICLL and other applicable regulations.
