Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #2596 (Set 78)

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 24'-07", AFT 25'-09"; and the KG is 24.0 feet. What is the righting moment when the vessel is inclined to 15°? (Use the selected stability curves in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — 8,666 foot-tons

Extracting displacement from hydrostatic tables for the specified drafts and utilizing KN curves at 15° heel allows calculation of GZ. Multiplying GZ by displacement yields 8,666 foot-tons.
