The DEEP DRILLER, while loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #5 (Survival) loads an additional 137.88 long tons. The resulting trim by the stern is 2 feet and the list to port is 3 feet. What is the draft at the port forward draft mark?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 46 feet 6 inches.
This can be determined by applying the principles of naval architecture and stability calculations. Given that the DEEP DRILLER loaded an additional 137.88 long tons, resulting in a 2-foot trim by the stern and a 3-foot list to port, the draft at the port forward draft mark can be calculated based on the vessel's initial load condition and the changes in trim and list.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the changes in draft caused by the additional load, trim, and list. The correct calculation, taking into account the provided information, leads to a draft of 46 feet 6 inches at the port forward draft mark.
