Deck General USCG Question #5179 (Set 161)

The DEEP DRILLER, loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling), discharges all the cement in the P-Tanks. See Table 7. What is the change in KG?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — 0.49 foot downward

Removing high-level dry bulk cement from P-tanks decreases the overall vertical moments significantly more than the reduction in displacement, causing the center of gravity to shift downward by 0.49 foot based on Table 7 capacity and moment data.
