Question 2419 Deck Safety
70% to passYou have 10 containers of rig supplies each measuring 10'L by 6'B by 6'H and weighing 1.8 tons each. Each container is stowed on deck. What is the maximum VCG permitted of the remaining cargo if you are carrying rig water and load to maximum capacity? See illustration D037DG below.
A
0.94 foot
B
1.36 feet
C
1.78 feet
D
1.96 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 0.94 foot. The maximum VCG (Vertical Center of Gravity) permitted for the remaining cargo is 0.94 foot. This is calculated based on the weight and dimensions of the 10 containers of rig supplies, which must be accounted for in the overall stability calculations. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the maximum VCG permitted given the provided information. The regulations and stability requirements for a Coast Guard Captain's License examination require the VCG to be calculated precisely to ensure the vessel's safe operation and stability.
