Question 4727Deck General70% to pass
While loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling), all of the liquid mud is dumped. What would be the new draft?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 56.69 feet.
When the liquid mud is dumped, the vessel's weight is reduced, resulting in a decreased draft. The Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling) provides the necessary information to calculate the new draft. By removing the weight of the liquid mud, the vessel's overall weight and displacement decrease, causing the draft to go down to 56.69 feet.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in draft after the liquid mud is dumped. Options B, C, and D do not properly account for the reduced weight and displacement of the vessel.
