🔍 Key Concepts

• Sample Load Form #3 (Drilling) environmental limits for elevated condition • How combined wind and current affect allowable wave height on a jack-up/drilling unit • Reading a limiting criteria table/graph: finding the correct row/column based on conditions

💭 Think About

• On Sample Load Form #3, which column or row corresponds to an elevated drilling condition with about 57 knots of wind? • How does a 2‑knot current influence the allowable wave height on that same form—does it move you to a more conservative limit? • Once you locate the correct wind/current combination on the form, what maximum wave height value is listed there?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using Sample Load Form #3 (Drilling) and not the survival or transit form • Confirm you are in the elevated condition section, not alongside, preload, or transit • Double‑check that you matched the 57‑knot wind row and the 2‑knot current column (or equivalent category) before reading the wave height limit
