Question 2400 Deck Safety
70% to passYou have 590 tons of below deck tonnage. There is no liquid mud aboard. If you have 84 tons of cargo above deck with a VCG above the deck of 2.7 feet, what is the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo that is permitted? See illustration D036DG below.
A
2.54 feet
B
2.85 feet
C
3.11 feet
D
3.55 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 3.11 feet. The reasoning is based on the stability criteria for vessels, which requires that the center of gravity (VCG) of the total loaded vessel, including cargo above and below deck, must not exceed a certain maximum allowable VCG. Given the information provided, with 590 tons of below deck tonnage and 84 tons of cargo above deck with a VCG of 2.7 feet, the maximum allowed VCG for the remainder of the deck cargo is calculated to be 3.11 feet, which is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not satisfy the stability criteria based on the provided information.
