Question 4481 Deck General

70% to pass

During a severe storm while the COASTAL DRILLER is elevated, on board loads must be shifted so that the TCG is on the centerline and the LCG is _______________.

A 40.00 feet AF0
B 68.33 feet AF0
C 119.44 feet AF0
D 160.33 feet AF0
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 119.44 feet AF0. During a severe storm, when the COASTAL DRILLER is elevated, the loads on board must be shifted so that the Transverse Center of Gravity (TCG) is on the centerline and the Longitudinal Center of Gravity (LCG) is 119.44 feet aft of the forward perpendicular (AF0). This positioning ensures the vessel's stability and safe operation in the severe weather conditions. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the appropriate LCG position for the given scenario. A, B, and D do not match the regulatory requirements for the vessel's stability and weight distribution during a severe storm while elevated.
