Question 11 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 880 tons each. To determine the amount of ballast required in tank No. 5 (P & S), we need to use the guidance provided in the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. Grand Haven. Given the vessel's loaded drafts of 17'-00" forward and 22'-06" aft, and the grain cargo with a test weight of 35 lbs, the manual would provide the necessary calculations to arrive at the correct ballast requirement of 880 tons each for tank No. 5 (P & S). The other options are incorrect because they do not match the specific guidance and calculations outlined in the Guidance Manual for this particular vessel and cargo configuration.
