Question 5025 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 424 kips. The location of the rotary of the COASTAL DRILLER in relation to the transom and centerline provides information about the stability and load capacity of the vessel. With the changes to the lightweight shown in the Operating Manual, the maximum allowable hook load would be calculated based on the vessel's stability characteristics and load limitations. The answer of 424 kips is the correct maximum allowable hook load for this configuration, as it takes into account the specific details provided about the vessel's dimensions and weight distribution. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not reflect the appropriate maximum allowable hook load for the given vessel details.
