Question 4942 Deck General
70% to passThe COASTAL DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form Number 1 (Rig Move). If the contents of the No.1 drill water tank are discharged, what would be the new LCG?
A
118.46 feet AF0
B
119.44 feet AF0
C
119.98 feet AF0
D
120.42 feet AF0
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 120.42 feet AF0. When the contents of the No. 1 drill water tank are discharged, the vessel's load and center of gravity (LCG) will shift. The provided Sample Load Form Number 1 (Rig Move) likely contains the necessary information to calculate the new LCG after the tank discharge. The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the change in LCG that occurs when the weight of the water in the No. 1 drill tank is removed. Option D, 120.42 feet AF0, is the correct new LCG value based on the given information.
