You have 6 containers of ship stores each measuring 8'L by 4'B by 6'H and weighing 0.5 ton 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 D: 1.90 feet. Consulting stability limitations in diagram D037DG for full rig water capacity and deck-stowed stores yields an allowable remaining cargo vertical center of gravity maximum height of 1.90 feet.
