You are on a supply run to an offshore drilling rig. You are carrying the load show in table ST-0003 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 D — 1.19 feet
Applying standard transverse and vertical moment formulas to table ST-0003 loading data involves totaling individual weight moments about the deck reference plane. Dividing this cumulative moment sum by the total cargo weight establishes a vertical center of gravity of 1.19 feet.
