Question 4940 Deck General

70% to pass

The COASTAL DRILLER is in transit loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form Number 1 (Rig Move). What would be the new KGT if, during the move, 170.9 kips of fuel oil is consumed from Diesel Oil Tanks 13 and 14?

A 48.98 feet
B 50.08 feet
C 50.70 feet
D 51.21 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 50.70 feet. The new KGT (Vertical Center of Gravity) can be calculated by considering the change in weight and center of gravity due to the consumption of 170.9 kips of fuel oil from Diesel Oil Tanks 13 and 14. As the fuel oil is consumed, the vessel's overall weight decreases, and the center of gravity shifts upward, resulting in a higher KGT value. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in KGT due to the fuel oil consumption. Option A) 48.98 feet and Option B) 50.08 feet are too low, while Option D) 51.21 feet is too high compared to the correct value of 50.70 feet.
