70% to pass

Your vessel's existing draft is FWD 17'-03", AFT 18'-09". Using the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. Grand Haven, determine the new draft if 450 long tons are loaded in No. 16 hatch.

A FWD 16'-11", AFT 19'-04 2/3"
B FWD 17'-01", AFT 18'-11 1/4"
C FWD 17'-04", AFT 19'-03 3/4"
D FWD 17'-07", AFT 18'-11 1/4"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) FWD 17'-04", AFT 19'-03 3/4". To arrive at this answer, we need to use the information provided in the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. Grand Haven to calculate the new draft after loading 450 long tons in No. 16 hatch. The existing draft conditions and the weight of the additional cargo can be used to determine the new draft. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in draft based on the given information. The calculations in the manual would show that the forward draft increases to 17'-04" and the aft draft increases to 19'-03 3/4", which is the correct answer.
