Question 2305Deck Safety70% to pass
A vessel is limited to a maximum draft of 25'-11". The present drafts are: FWD 24'- 10", AFT 23'-02". How much more cargo can be loaded and where should it be located if a drag of 18 inches is desired? (Use the reference material in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 690 tons 62 feet aft of the tipping center.
The explanation is as follows:
1. Confirm the correct answer: The correct answer is C) 690 tons 62 feet aft of the tipping center.
2. Explanation of reasoning: To calculate the additional cargo that can be loaded, we need to use the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages), which provides guidance on calculating changes in draft and displacement. Given the current drafts of 24'-10" forward and 23'-2" aft, and the maximum draft of 25'-11", the additional cargo that can be loaded is 690 tons, which should be placed 62 feet aft of the tipping center to achieve the desired draft of 18 inches.
3. Why other options are incorrect: The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the additional cargo that can be loaded or the location where it should be placed to achieve the desired draft.
