You are on a supply run to an offshore drilling rig. You are carrying the load show in table ST-0002 below. What is the height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — 1.50 feet
Applying standard moments calculation (Total Vertical Moments divided by Total Weight) for table ST-0002 cargo items determines the vertical center of gravity above the main deck. Summing individual weights and vertical arms results in a precise final KG of 1.50 feet.
