70% to passThe draft at the forward draft mark of a jack-up is 11 feet 3 inches while the draft at the aft draft mark is 12 feet 9 inches. The value of trim is _______________.
A
six inches to the stern
B
1 foot 6 inches to the stern
C
3 feet to the stern
D
24 feet to the stern
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 1 foot 6 inches to the stern. To calculate the trim, you need to subtract the forward draft from the aft draft. In this case, the forward draft is 11 feet 3 inches, and the aft draft is 12 feet 9 inches. The difference between these two values is 1 foot 6 inches, which indicates that the vessel has a trim of 1 foot 6 inches to the stern. The other options are incorrect because: A) 6 inches to the stern is too small of a trim value given the draft difference. C) 3 feet to the stern is too large of a trim value given the draft difference. D) 24 feet to the stern is an unrealistic and incorrect trim value.
