Question 2285Deck Safety70% to pass
Your drafts are: FWD 5'-08", AFT 6'-04". From past experience, you know that the vessel will increase her draft 1 inch for every 7 tons loaded. There is rig water on board and 10 tons of deck cargo. How many more tons of cargo can be loaded and still maintain the same trim? See illustration D037DG below.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 25.0 tons.
To calculate the additional cargo that can be loaded, we need to consider the increase in draft due to the existing cargo and the desired trim. Since the vessel will increase its draft by 1 inch for every 7 tons loaded, we can use this relationship to determine the additional cargo capacity.
Given information:
- FWD draft: 5'-08"
- AFT draft: 6'-04"
- Rig water on board
- 10 tons of deck cargo
Based on this information, the vessel can accommodate an additional 25.0 tons of cargo and maintain the same trim.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the additional cargo capacity based on the provided information and the relationship between draft and cargo weight.
