Question 4786Deck General70% to pass
The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling). If port valves 24 and 2 are mistakenly opened, the change in inclination will be increasing trim by the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) bow with port list.
When port valves 24 and 2 are mistakenly opened on the DEEP DRILLER, it will cause an increase in the vessel's inclination, resulting in a change in trim by the bow with a port list. This is because the open valves will allow water to enter the port side of the vessel, causing it to list to port and the bow to trim down.
The other options are incorrect because: A) opening the valves would not increase trim by the stern, B) it would not increase trim by the bow, and C) it would not increase trim by the stern with a starboard list.
