While loaded as shown in the COASTAL DRILLER sample load form 3 (drilling), all of the casing is discharged. What is the change in LCG?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — 0.02 foot forward
Longitudinal center of gravity calculations require dividing total longitudinal moments by total displacement weights. Removing weight forward of the initial LCG alters the moment sum, resulting in a calculated shift of 0.02 foot forward per standard vessel loading documentation.
