Your vessel's existing draft is FWD 25'-04", AFT 24'-08". Using the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN, determine the new draft if 634 long tons are discharged from NO. 19 hatch.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) FWD 25'-05 1/4", AFT 23'-08 5/8".
To arrive at this answer, we need to use the information provided in the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN. Based on the existing draft of FWD 25'-04" and AFT 24'-08", and the discharge of 634 long tons from No. 19 hatch, the manual would provide the new forward and aft drafts.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in draft based on the given information and the guidance provided in the manual.
