Question 4603Deck General70% to pass
The DEEP DRILLER, while loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #5, loads 275.8 long tons. The resulting trim by the stern is 3 feet and list to port is 2 feet. What is the draft at the starboard aft draft mark?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 47 feet 6 inches.
The explanation is as follows:
1. Confirm the correct answer: The correct answer is C) 47 feet 6 inches.
2. Explanation of the reasoning: With a trim by the stern of 3 feet and a list to port of 2 feet, the draft at the starboard aft draft mark would be the load draft plus the trim by the stern, which is 47.5 feet or 47 feet 6 inches.
3. Explanation of why other options are incorrect: The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately account for the given trim and list conditions. Option A) 44 feet 6 inches is too low, Option B) 47 feet 0 inches is too low, and Option D) 48 feet 6 inches is too high.
