Question 4763 Deck General
70% to passThe DEEP DRILLER, loaded as shown in Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling), suffers major damage which results in flooding in tank C1P. Your best countermeasure is to _______________.
A
pump from C1P
B
counterflood in 10S
C
counterflood in 1P
D
pump from 2P
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) pump from 2P. When a vessel suffers flooding in one tank, the best countermeasure is to pump water out of the flooded tank to reduce the free surface effect and maintain stability. Pumping from the flooded tank C1P would be the most direct way to address the flooding. The other options are not recommended. Counterflooding in 10S or 1P would introduce additional free surface, which could further destabilize the vessel. Pumping from an unaffected tank like 2P is the most appropriate action to take in this situation.
