Question 5099Deck General70% to pass
The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #5 (Survival) when an unexpected slowly increasing port list and bow down trim occurs. A leak in C1P is found. By deballasting from ballast tanks 2P and 3P, the inclination slowly decreases. The increase in the transverse free surface correction is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 0.18 foot.
When a vessel experiences a list due to a leak or other factors, the transverse free surface correction will increase as the free surface area in the ballast tanks increases. Since the vessel is deballasting from tanks 2P and 3P, the free surface area in those tanks will decrease, resulting in a smaller increase in the transverse free surface correction. Based on the information provided, the increase in the transverse free surface correction would be 0.18 foot.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in the transverse free surface correction when deballasting from the specified tanks.
