Question 5037 Deck General

70% to pass

The COASTAL DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form Number 1 (Rig Move). If the contents of 6 and 7 drill water tanks are discharged, what would be the new height of the longitudinal metacenter?

A 249.47 feet
B 250.16 feet
C 252.92 feet
D 253.90 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 252.92 feet. When the contents of the 6 and 7 drill water tanks are discharged, the vessel's overall weight decreases, causing the longitudinal metacenter height to increase. Based on the information provided in the Sample Load Form Number 1 (Rig Move), the calculations show that the new longitudinal metacenter height would be 252.92 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in the longitudinal metacenter height after the discharge of the drill water tanks.
