While the DEEP DRILLER is operating as shown in Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling), casing is accidentally dropped over the starboard side. If the starboard forward inclination is slowly increasing, which tank is probably damaged?
β’ Transverse stability and how damage on one side affects list/trim β’ Relationship between starboard forward inclination and which compartment (by number/side) is likely flooded β’ How tank numbering usually relates to location (forward-aft) and side (port/starboard) on the DEEP DRILLER load form
β’ If the vessel is inclined forward and to starboard, what does that tell you about which area (forward/aft and port/starboard) has likely lost buoyancy? β’ Look at Sample Load Form #4: Which numbered tanks are located forward, and how are port (P) and starboard (S) tanks arranged? β’ If weight (like water from flooding) is added on the starboard forward side, which tank designation would best match that location?
β’ Confirm which tanks on the Sample Load Form #4 are forward vs. aft based on their numbers β’ Verify which letter (P or S) corresponds to port and starboard on the diagram β’ Check whether the chosen tank is located in the forward starboard region that would reasonably cause a slowly increasing starboard forward inclination
