Question 4933Deck General70% to pass
The draft at the forward draft mark of a jack-up is 11 feet 3 inches while the draft at the aft draft mark is 12 feet 9 inches. The value of trim is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 1 foot 6 inches to the stern.
To calculate the trim, you need to subtract the forward draft from the aft draft. In this case, the forward draft is 11 feet 3 inches, and the aft draft is 12 feet 9 inches. The difference between these two values is 1 foot 6 inches, which indicates that the vessel has a trim of 1 foot 6 inches to the stern.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 6 inches to the stern is too small of a trim value given the draft difference.
C) 3 feet to the stern is too large of a trim value given the draft difference.
D) 24 feet to the stern is an unrealistic and incorrect trim value.
