Question 4694 Deck General
70% to passWhile the DEEP DRILLER is operating as shown in Sample Form #4 (Drilling), casing is accidentally dropped over the port side. If the port aft inclination is slowly increasing, which tank is probably damaged?
A
1P
B
10P
C
10S
D
9P
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 10P. If the port aft inclination is slowly increasing, it indicates that the vessel is listing to the port side. This suggests that the damage is likely occurring on the port side of the vessel. Given that the casing was dropped over the port side, the most likely damaged tank is the port side 10P tank. The other options are incorrect because: A) 1P is located too far forward, C) 10S is on the starboard side, and D) 9P is located further aft compared to the 10P tank, which is the closest to the location where the casing was dropped.
