🔍 Key Concepts

• Buoyancy vs. weight of the mat during jacking operations • How trapped air or water in ballast tanks affects stability • What happens when upward buoyant forces change faster than leg penetration or preload

💭 Think About

• Think about whether extra buoyancy in the mat makes the unit want to rise or sink, and how that affects stability while jacking up or down. • Consider which option describes a serious stability consequence directly related to an unexpected increase in buoyant force under the mat. • Ask yourself: during jacking, if the mat suddenly becomes more buoyant on one side than the other, what type of dangerous motion or condition could result?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice describes a stability casualty rather than a time or schedule issue. • Eliminate any option that does not logically follow from increased upward force (more buoyancy) under the mat. • Consider MODU operations: which effect would the USCG and IMO be most concerned about during preloading and jacking due to unexpected buoyancy changes?
