What is the new location of the transverse center of gravity if 200 short tons are discharged from 10 feet to port of the centerline on a MODU with TCG 0.7 foot starboard of the centerline, and the displacement is 9,000 short tons?

Correct Answer: Option D — 0.94 foot starboard of centerline

Discharging weight from the port side shifts the transverse center of gravity (TCG) toward starboard. Applying the shift formula (weight times distance divided by new displacement) to the initial 0.7 foot starboard TCG results in a new position of 0.94 foot starboard of the centerline.
