The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #2 (Ballasting to Survival). What is the new draft if all the bulk materials are discharged?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 44.27 feet.
When the bulk materials are discharged, the vessel's draft will increase as the total weight of the load decreases. Based on the information provided in the Sample Load Form #2 (Ballasting to Survival), the new draft of the DEEP DRILLER after discharging all the bulk materials is 44.27 feet.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 36.23 feet is too low, as the draft should increase with the reduction in load weight.
C) 45.73 feet and D) 53.77 feet are too high, as they exceed the maximum draft shown in the sample load form.
