A semisubmersible, 200 feet in length between draft marks with the LCF 10 feet aft of amidships, records the following drafts: Port Forward 64'-09"; Port Aft 68'-09"; Starboard Forward 59'-09"; and Starboard Aft 63'-09". What is the list?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — 5 feet to port
List is determined by comparing port and starboard drafts. Averaging port forward (64'09") and port aft (68'09") gives a port mean of 66'09". Averaging starboard forward and aft gives 61'09". The difference of 5 feet indicates a 5-foot list to port.
