The DEEP DRILLER at survival draft loads 2,068.1 long tons of ballast. What is the new draft?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — 60.0 feet
Applying hydrostatic particulars and deadweight displacement data from the stability manual, adding 2,068.1 long tons of ballast to the survival draft condition increases vessel displacement and lowers the unit to the 60.0-foot operational draft.
