Question 2279Deck Safety70% to pass
A vessel's drafts are: FWD 19'-00", AFT 21'-10". 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 A) 4819 tons.
To determine the additional cargo that can be loaded, we need to use the information in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages), which provides the freeboard draft and displacement for the vessel. Given the drafts of 19' forward and 21'10" aft, the freeboard draft can be calculated as the average of the two, which is 20'5". The Stability Data Reference Book will then indicate the displacement corresponding to this freeboard draft, which is 4819 tons. Therefore, the vessel can load an additional 4819 tons of cargo to reach the freeboard draft.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the displacement value given in the Stability Data Reference Book for the provided drafts.
