You are loading in a port subject to the winter load line mark and bound for a port subject to the summer load line mark. You will enter the summer zone after steaming six days. You will consume 32 tons of fuel, water, and stores per day. The hydrometer reading at the loading pier is 1.005, and the average TPI is 65. What is the minimum freeboard required at the start of the voyage? Reference Table BL-0020 below.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 81 inches.
The minimum freeboard required at the start of the voyage is 81 inches, based on the information provided and the reference table BL-0020.
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the winter load line mark at the loading port and the transition to the summer load line mark after 6 days of steaming. Given the hydrometer reading of 1.005 and the average TPI of 65, we can use the reference table to find the minimum freeboard requirement for the winter load line mark, which is 81 inches.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the minimum freeboard requirement for the given conditions.
