Deck General USCG Question #4328 (Set 138)

The DEEP DRILLER, while loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling), suffers severe damage to the port aft column below the waterline. You should pump from tank __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 10P

Damage to the port aft column causes the unit to list and trim by the stern to port. Pumping from tank 10P, situated in the port aft corner, lightens the stern and port side to mitigate the list and trim.
