🔍 Key Concepts

• Preloading and elevating limits specified in the COASTAL DRILLER’s approved operating manual • How total weight (displacement + preload + variable loads) relates to safe jacking operations • The importance of staying within design weight limits during jacking to avoid overstressing the legs and hull

💭 Think About

• Which option best matches the maximum permissible total weight allowed during preloading/elevating before jacking must be stopped? • Think about how a jack-up rig’s structural design limit is usually expressed: is it a relatively higher or lower number compared to normal operating weight? • If the total weight exceeds this limit, what structural risks or failures might occur, and why would the manual be very strict about this value?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the COASTAL DRILLER operating manual or exam reference for the exact numerical limit for total weight during jacking/preload operations. • Confirm whether the limit is given as “total weight not to exceed” a specific kips value during preloading/elevating. • Verify that you are using the correct unit (kips) and not confusing it with tons or other weight units when comparing the values.
