You are going to load bales of wool having a stowage factor of 100 in #3 lower hold which has a bale cubic of 62,000. How many tons of the wool can be stowed in the compartment, assuming 10% broken stowage?

A 558

B 620

C 520

D 654

AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 558 tons. To calculate the amount of wool that can be stowed in the compartment, we need to consider the bale cubic, the stowage factor, and the 10% broken stowage. The formula is: Tonnage = Bale Cubic / Stowage Factor / (1 - Broken Stowage Percentage) Plugging in the values, we get: Tonnage = 62,000 / 100 / (1 - 0.10) = 558 tons. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the formula and account for the 10% broken stowage factor.
