Question 1 of 27070

The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit). If the maximum permissible deck load were placed aboard at a VCG of 130 feet, what would be the new draft?

🔍 Key Concepts

• How adding the maximum permissible deck load affects the vessel’s total displacement and draft • Using the vessel’s deadweight scale/curves or displacement–draft data on the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit) • The relationship between VCG (vertical center of gravity) limits and whether a load can be fully added at a given height

💭 Think About

• From the existing loaded condition on Sample Load Form #1 (Transit), determine how many tons you are allowed to add as the maximum permissible deck load at VCG 130 feet • Use the hydrostatic or loading data to find what the vessel’s new displacement would be after adding that load, then read off the corresponding draft • Check whether trim changes are specified or if you should assume a mean draft from the hydrostatic data

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you are using the correct ‘maximum permissible deck load’ value associated with a VCG of 130 feet, not some other VCG limit from the stability booklet • Confirm you are reading the draft from the correct displacement curve or table that matches the transit condition (not a survival or damaged condition chart) • Verify whether drafts are given in feet and inches and convert your calculated or read-off draft correctly before comparing it with the answer choices
