Question 2276Deck Safety70% to pass
Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 18'-09", AFT 20'-03". How much more cargo can be loaded to have the vessel down to the freeboard draft? (Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 5349 tons.
To determine the additional cargo that can be loaded, we need to calculate the difference between the current draft and the freeboard draft. The freeboard draft is the maximum draft allowed to ensure the vessel's stability and safety. By consulting the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages), we can find the freeboard draft corresponding to the vessel's dimensions and determine the additional cargo capacity.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the difference between the current draft and the freeboard draft based on the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book.
