For the DEEP DRILLER, the maximum permissible offset which can be tolerated while drilling is _______________.

A 10% of water depth

B 6% of water depth

C 4% of water depth

D 2% of water depth

AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 6% of water depth. The maximum permissible offset for a DEEP DRILLER is 6% of the water depth. This requirement is specified in the regulations governing offshore drilling operations, which the US Coast Guard examines as part of the Captain's License examinations. The other options are incorrect because 10% (A) would exceed the regulatory limit, while 4% (C) and 2% (D) would be more restrictive than the standard 6% requirement.
