The DEEP DRILLER, loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling), discharges a non-liquid load of 275.8 long tons from a position 130 feet above the keel, 40 feet forward of amidships, and 30 feet to port of the centerline. What is the resulting list angle?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — 2.87 degrees to starboard
List angle calculation involves dividing the final transverse moment by the transverse metacentric height multiplied by displacement. Removing a weight 30 feet to port creates a starboard list of 2.87 degrees based on standard intact stability criteria.
