Question 4971 Deck General

The correct answer is D) 1.3 feet. The maximum allowable KG for a vessel at a draft of 10 feet 6 inches is the difference between the KGT (38.7 feet) and the KGL (38.2 feet), which is 0.5 feet. Therefore, the margin on the maximum allowable KG is 1.3 feet, as the vessel's KG of 38.2 feet is 1.3 feet below the maximum allowable KG. The other options are incorrect because: A) 26.8 feet and B) 26.3 feet are too high and do not represent the actual margin on the maximum allowable KG. C) 1.8 feet is incorrect as the margin is 1.3 feet, not 1.8 feet.
