Question 2420 Deck Safety
70% to passYou have 6 containers of ship stores each measuring 8'L by 4'B by 6'H and weighing 0.5 tons each. Each container is stowed on deck. What is the maximum VCG permitted of the remaining cargo if you are carrying rig water and load to maximum capacity? See illustration D037DG below.
A
1.06 feet
B
1.32 feet
C
1.65 feet
D
1.90 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 1.90 feet. The maximum VCG (Vertical Center of Gravity) permitted for the remaining cargo is 1.90 feet. This is based on the stability calculations and requirements for the vessel, taking into account the weight and dimensions of the 6 containers of ship stores stowed on deck. The remaining cargo must be loaded in a way that keeps the overall VCG within the allowable limit to ensure the vessel's stability and safe operation. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the maximum VCG permitted based on the given information and stability requirements for the vessel.
