70% to pass

On the DEEP DRILLER, among the valves to open when transferring ballast from Tank 1S to Tank 10P using the #1 ballast pump is valve _______________.

A 33 Port
B 44 Port
C 33 Starboard
D 44 Starboard
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 33 Port. When transferring ballast from Tank 1S to Tank 10P using the #1 ballast pump on the DEEP DRILLER, the valve that needs to be opened is 33 Port. This is because the valve numbers and locations are typically assigned based on the vessel's layout, with odd-numbered valves on the port side and even-numbered valves on the starboard side. Since Tank 1S is on the port side and Tank 10P is on the port side, the appropriate valve to open is 33 Port. The other options are incorrect because 44 Port, 33 Starboard, and 44 Starboard would not be the correct valves to open for this specific ballast transfer operation.
