🔍 Key Concepts

• Load line draft and what it represents on a vessel like COASTAL DRILLER • Relationship between weight removed and change in draft (TPI or MT1" depending on the units used in the stability data) • Converting decimal feet to feet and inches and vice versa

💭 Think About

• From the vessel’s stability/loading booklet, what value relates a change in weight (in kips) to a change in draft? How do you apply it when weight is discharged (removed)? • Is the new draft supposed to be shallower or deeper than the original load line draft when weight is removed? How does that affect which numerical answers are reasonable? • If you compute a draft change in decimal feet, how do you correctly convert that into feet and inches to compare with the choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether the vessel data you’d use in this problem would be TPI (tons per inch immersion) or MT1"/K (moment to change trim) conceptually, and how that scales to kips. • Double‑check that when converting, 0.8 ft is NOT 8 inches; 1 foot = 12 inches, so verify the exact inch value for any decimal feet you get. • Before picking an answer, verify whether the format of the choice is feet and inches (e.g., 10 ft 8 in) or decimal feet (e.g., 10.8 ft), and make sure your calculation matches that format.
