A MODU displacing 28,000 long tons has a KG of 60 feet. A weight of 500 long tons is discharged from a VCG 150 feet. The change in KG is __________.

Correct Answer: Option C — 1.64 feet

Discharging a weight from a high vertical position reduces vessel KG. The change in KG is calculated by multiplying the discharged weight by the vertical distance, then dividing by the new displacement. This yields a downward KG change of 1.64 feet per standard stability formulas.
