Question 2416 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) 2.18 feet. This is based on the calculations for the maximum vertical center of gravity (VCG) permitted for the remaining cargo, given the details provided about the 6 containers of rig supplies. The key factors are the weight and dimensions of the rig supply containers, which must be accounted for when determining the maximum VCG for the remaining cargo to maintain the vessel's stability. Using the provided information, the calculation results in a maximum VCG of 2.18 feet for the remaining cargo. The other answer choices are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the maximum VCG permitted in this scenario based on the given information and stability requirements.
