What is the trim of a jack-up with a forward draft of 12 feet and an after draft of 13 feet?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Trim is the difference between the forward draft and after draft • If the after draft is greater than the forward draft, the vessel is trimmed by the stern; if less, by the head • Pay attention to both the numerical difference and the direction (head or stern)

💭 Think About

• What is the numerical difference between the forward draft (12 feet) and after draft (13 feet)? • Since the after draft is larger than the forward draft, is the vessel deeper in the water at the bow or at the stern? • Once you know the difference in feet and which end is deeper, which choice matches both the amount and the direction of trim?

✅ Before You Answer

• Calculate the exact difference in feet between the two drafts before looking at the choices • Decide clearly whether the vessel is by the stern or by the head based on which draft is larger • Match both the size of the trim (in feet) and the correct end (head or stern) to the options given
