You are on a supply run to an offshore drilling rig. You are carrying the load show in table ST-0030 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 C — 2.26 feet
Determining cargo vertical center of gravity from table ST-0030 data demands accurate summation of individual weight and height products. Dividing the resulting cumulative vertical moment by total cargo weight precisely produces a final height of 2.26 feet above deck.
