Assuming that the recommended hatch loading sequence is followed, how many long tons of iron ore may be loaded through hatch No. 3 while using a single belt loader to arrive at a desired mean keel draft of 27'-07"? (Use the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN.)

A 2500 tons
B 2550 tons
C 2600 tons
D 2650 tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 2500 tons. According to the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN, the recommended hatch loading sequence should be followed to achieve the desired mean keel draft of 27'-07". Assuming this sequence is followed, the maximum weight of iron ore that can be loaded through hatch No. 3 using a single belt loader is 2500 long tons. The other options are incorrect because they exceed the maximum allowable load for hatch No. 3 based on the guidance provided in the manual.
