Question 4700 Deck General
70% to passThe DEEP DRILLER, while loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling), suffers damage to the starboard forward column below the waterline. Pumping from tank 2S and 3S is not sufficient to prevent increasing starboard list and bow down trim. You should consider counterflooding in tank _______________.
A
9P
B
C2BP
C
10P
D
2P
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 10P. The reasoning is that when a vessel experiences damage resulting in increased starboard list and bow-down trim, the principle of counter-flooding can be used to help correct the list and trim. In this scenario, with pumping from tanks 2S and 3S being insufficient, counter-flooding tank 10P would help to balance the vessel and prevent further instability. The other options are incorrect because: A) 9P is not the appropriate tank to counter-flood, B) C2BP is not a standard tank designation, and D) 2P would likely exacerbate the list rather than correct it.
