You have 10 containers of rig supplies each measuring 10'L by 6'B by 6'H and weighing 1.8 tons each. Each container is stowed on deck. What is the maximum VCG permitted of the remaining cargo if you are carrying rig water and load to maximum capacity? See illustration D037DG below.

Question

Accepted Answer

Option A: 0.94 foot. Subtracting the total weight and vertical moments of the ten specified containers from maximum allowable deck limits per stability guidance yields a permissible remaining cargo VCG of 0.94 foot under full load conditions.
