The COASTAL DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form Number 1 (Rig Move). If the contents of the four bulk tanks are back-loaded to a supply boat, what would be the new draft?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 10.57 feet.
Explanation:
1. The information provided indicates that the COASTAL DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form Number 1 (Rig Move), and the contents of the four bulk tanks are back-loaded to a supply boat. This means that the weight of the contents in the four bulk tanks is removed from the COASTAL DRILLER, resulting in a change in the vessel's draft.
2. By subtracting the weight of the contents in the four bulk tanks from the original load, the new draft of the COASTAL DRILLER can be calculated, and the correct answer is 10.57 feet.
3. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in draft due to the back-loading of the contents from the four bulk tanks.
