Question 2248Deck Safety70% to pass
A tanker loads at a terminal within the tropical zone. She will enter the summer zone six days after departing the loading port. She will burn off 45 tons/day and daily water consumption is 8 tons. How many tons may she load over that allowed by her summer load line?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 318 tons.
To calculate the additional cargo that can be loaded over the summer load line, we need to consider the fuel and water consumption during the transit from the tropical zone to the summer zone.
Given information:
- The tanker will burn off 45 tons/day.
- The daily water consumption is 8 tons.
- The tanker will enter the summer zone six days after departing the loading port.
Calculation:
- Fuel consumed during the 6-day transit: 45 tons/day x 6 days = 270 tons
- Water consumed during the 6-day transit: 8 tons/day x 6 days = 48 tons
- Total consumption during the 6-day transit: 270 tons + 48 tons = 318 tons
Therefore, the tanker may load 318 tons over the amount allowed by her summer load line.
