Deck General USCG Question #5142 (Set 159)

When the COASTAL DRILLER is level at a draft of 10.5 feet, what is the value of the LCG?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 119.44 feet

Longitudinal center of gravity (LCG) is derived from the unit's hydrostatic and loading manuals corresponding to specific draft and trim conditions. At a level draft of 10.5 feet, interpolation of the hydrostatic tables establishes the LCG at 119.44 feet from the reference datum.
