The COASTAL DRILLER has a trim of 2.13 feet by the stern. If the draft at the forward draft marks is 8.0 feet, the draft at the after draft marks is _______________.

A 7.00 feet
B 9.00 feet
C 9.42 feet
D 10.13 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 10.13 feet. To explain: 1) With a trim of 2.13 feet by the stern, the draft at the after draft marks will be 2.13 feet greater than the draft at the forward draft marks. Since the draft at the forward draft marks is 8.0 feet, the draft at the after draft marks must be 8.0 feet + 2.13 feet = 10.13 feet. 2) This is the correct calculation based on the principle that trim is the difference in draft between the forward and after draft marks. 3) The other options are incorrect because they do not properly account for the given trim of 2.13 feet by the stern.
