The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #2 (Ballasting to Survival). What is the shift in TCG if 100.76 long tons of ballast are added to Ballast Tank #8S to replace the discharge of all bulk materials?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 0.01 foot starboard.
The shift in TCG (Transverse Center of Gravity) when adding 100.76 long tons of ballast to Ballast Tank #8S is 0.01 foot starboard. This is because the addition of ballast in the #8S tank results in a negligible shift in the overall center of gravity of the vessel, as the tank is located close to the centerline and the added weight is relatively small compared to the overall load.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they represent larger shifts in TCG, which would not be the case for the given scenario and vessel loading condition.
