Question 1 of 2066636ee728f7522a1c517906

The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #5 (Survival), when an unexpected, slowly increasing port list and bow down trim occurs. A leak in C1P is found. By deballasting from ballast tanks 2P and 3P, the inclination slowly decreases. The increase in the longitudinal free surface correction is __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Free surface effect and how it impacts GM and trim on a semisubmersible / drill unit • How longitudinal free surface correction is obtained from the load form or hydrostatic tables when specific ballast tanks are slack or emptied • Effect of deballasting specific wing tanks (2P and 3P) while you already have a damaged tank (C1P) on the total free surface corrections

💭 Think About

• Look at Sample Load Form #5 and identify which tanks initially contribute to the longitudinal free surface correction and by how much • Determine which tanks are still slack (partly filled) after deballasting 2P and 3P, and note any changes in their free surface values compared with the original condition • Calculate the change between the original total longitudinal free surface correction and the new total after the deballasting sequence; compare that difference with the answer choices

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you are using the longitudinal free surface correction column on the load form, not the transverse one • Confirm whether tanks 2P and 3P go from slack to empty (no free surface) or to pressed up (completely full) in this survival condition and use the correct values • Double‑check that you are summing all applicable tank corrections before and after deballasting and that the difference (increase) matches one of the options
