Question 4247 Deck General

The correct answer is A) 435.59 long tons. According to the information provided in the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit), the DEEP DRILLER is currently loaded with 2,524.41 long tons. The deck load graph indicates that the maximum allowable deck load is 2,960 long tons. Therefore, the additional deck load that could be added is the difference between the maximum allowable deck load and the current load, which is 435.59 long tons. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the additional deck load capacity based on the information given in the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit) and the deck load graph.
