Question 5005 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 3.0 feet. To calculate the trim by the stern, we need to find the difference between the draft at the bow and the draft at the stern. Given that the jack-up has a draft of 8 feet at the bow and 11 feet at the stern, the trim by the stern is 11 feet - 8 feet = 3.0 feet. The other options are incorrect because: A) 2.0 feet is too low, as the difference between the stern and bow drafts is 3.0 feet. B) 2.4 feet is too low, as the difference between the stern and bow drafts is 3.0 feet. D) 6.0 feet is too high, as the difference between the stern and bow drafts is 3.0 feet.
