Question 2417 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 0.9 foot. To determine the maximum VCG (Vertical Center of Gravity) permitted for the remaining cargo, we need to consider the overall weight distribution and stability of the vessel. Given the information provided, the 12 containers of rig supplies weigh a total of 24 tons (12 containers x 2.0 tons each) and are stowed on deck. The maximum VCG permitted for the remaining cargo, such as rig water and other loads, is 0.9 foot. This answer is correct based on the principles of vessel stability and the regulations governing the safe operation of vessels. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the maximum VCG permitted for the remaining cargo given the specific details provided in the question.
