70% to pass

The COASTAL DRILLER, in ocean transit at a draft of 10 feet 6 inches with winds less than 70 knots, has a KGT of 50.6 feet and a KGL of 51.4 feet. The margin on the maximum allowable KG is _______________.

A 13.6 feet
B 14.4 feet
C 40.0 feet
D 65.0 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 13.6 feet. To explain: 1) The question provides the vessel's draft (10 feet 6 inches), KGT (50.6 feet), and KGL (51.4 feet). The margin on the maximum allowable KG is the difference between the maximum allowable KG and the actual KG. 2) The maximum allowable KG is typically 51.4 feet (the KGL), so the margin is 51.4 feet - 50.6 feet = 13.6 feet. 3) The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the margin based on the provided information.
