A jack-up with a calculated moment to change list one inch (MCL1") of 1,200 foot-kips intends to transfer 100 kips of weight in a transverse direction. How far should the weight be transferred to change the draft on the port side from 11.5 to 11.0 feet?

Correct Answer: Option D — 144 feet

Draft changes across a vessel's beam are governed by the Moment to Change List one inch. Shifting 100 kips over a calculated transverse distance utilizing the 1,200 foot-kip MCL1" yields a required transfer distance of 144 feet.
