Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — 1.38 feet
Determining cargo center of gravity on an offshore supply vessel involves summing vertical moments of individual deck items and dividing by total cargo weight. Per stability principles outlined in 46 CFR, the aggregate moment calculation yields a final height of 1.38 feet above the main deck.
