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.
