🔍 Key Concepts

• Variable load versus preload/fixed load on a jack-up or mobile offshore drilling unit • How allowable variable load is limited by maximum leg reactions and stability criteria • How to read the Sample Load Form #1 (Rig Move) to find remaining capacity

💭 Think About

• Compare the total applied load on the Sample Load Form to the unit’s allowable variable load for the stated wind condition (less than 70 knots). How much capacity remains? • Look at how the form treats variable load already on board versus variable load still available. Which line on the form tells you how much more you can safely add? • Ask yourself whether the current loading condition is already at, below, or above the limiting criteria (leg strength or stability). What does that imply about any additional variable load?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the correct line on the Sample Load Form that states maximum allowable variable load for this wind condition. • Confirm the current variable load already on board from the form – don’t confuse it with total displacement. • Subtract current variable load from maximum allowable variable load and compare that result to the answer choices. Make sure your units are in kips.
