While in ocean transit at a draft of 10 feet, the Coastal Driller has a maximum allowed KG of __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Maximum KG curves or tables in the vessel’s stability booklet • Relationship between displacement/draft and the allowable vertical center of gravity (KG) • How to read/interpolate values from a stability table or curve for a given draft

💭 Think About

• First, think about where you would find the maximum allowed KG for a specific vessel and draft. What document or table would you use? • Once you locate the line or curve for a 10‑foot draft, what value are you actually reading off the table/graph—KG, GM, or something else? • Compare the value you obtain for 10 feet draft with the answer choices. Is any interpolation between drafts necessary, or is 10 feet listed directly?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the correct table/curve for "maximum allowable KG" (not minimum GM or intact/damage stability criteria). • Verify that the draft you are using (10 ft) is on the correct scale and units (feet vs meters). • Double‑check you read the vertical axis label correctly so you are truly reading KG, then match that value to the closest answer choice.
