The DEEP DRILLER, while loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #5, discharges 137.88 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 forward draft mark?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 41 feet 6 inches.
To arrive at this answer, we need to use the principles of stability and trim calculations. Given that the DEEP DRILLER discharges 137.88 long tons, resulting in a 3-foot trim by the stern and a 2-foot list to port, we can calculate the draft at the starboard forward draft mark.
The key is that with a 3-foot trim by the stern and a 2-foot list to port, the draft at the starboard forward draft mark will be less than the midship draft. Specifically, the draft at the starboard forward draft mark will be 41 feet 6 inches, which is the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the impact of the given trim and list on the draft at the specific location.
