Question 2287Deck Safety70% to pass
Your drafts are: FWD 5'-11", AFT 6'-11". 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 16 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) 14 tons.
Here's the explanation:
1. The vessel's current draft is FWD 5'-11" and AFT 6'-11". This means the vessel's current trim is 1 foot.
2. According to the information provided, the vessel will increase its draft by 1 inch for every 7 tons loaded. With 16 tons of deck cargo already on board, the vessel can take on an additional 14 tons and maintain the same 1 foot of trim.
3. The other options are incorrect because 8 tons (A) would not be enough to maintain the same trim, while 10 tons (C) and 12 tons (B) would result in a change in the vessel's trim.
4. Therefore, the correct answer is D) 14 tons, as this is the maximum additional cargo that can be loaded while maintaining the same 1 foot of trim.
