Question 1235 Deck General

The correct answer is D) 6,144 barrels. The explanation is as follows: 1. The volume correction factor (VCF) of 0.0006 indicates that the volume of the cargo will increase by 0.0006 for every 1°F increase in temperature. Given that the cargo temperature increased from 50°F to 90°F, a 40°F increase, the volume of the cargo will increase by 0.0006 x 40 = 0.024 or 2.4%. 2. With an initial cargo of 6,000 barrels, a 2.4% increase in volume would result in 6,144 barrels being unloaded at the discharge port. 3. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately account for the increase in volume due to the change in temperature.
