Question 157Deck General70% to pass
Your vessel's existing draft is FWD 17'-04", AFT 18'-08". Using the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN, determine the new draft if 765 long tons are discharged from No. 7 hatch.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) FWD 15'-11 3/5", AFT 18'-11".
This is correct because discharging 765 long tons from the No. 7 hatch would reduce the overall draft of the vessel. The new forward draft would be 15'-11 3/5" and the new aft draft would be 18'-11", as calculated using the guidance provided in the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the changes in draft that would occur from discharging the specified cargo weight. A, C, and D all have inaccurate forward and/or aft draft measurements compared to the correct answer.
