You have 60 tons of below deck tonnage and 220 tons of above deck cargo on board. You must load 240 tons of liquid mud below deck. How much more deck cargo can you load? See illustration D036DG below.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 125 tons.
The explanation is as follows:
1. The question states that you have 60 tons of below deck tonnage and 220 tons of above deck cargo. You must then load 240 tons of liquid mud below deck. The remaining deck cargo capacity is calculated by subtracting the below deck cargo (60 + 240 = 300 tons) from the total cargo capacity (60 + 220 + 240 = 520 tons), which equals 220 tons. Therefore, the additional deck cargo that can be loaded is 125 tons.
2. This calculation is based on the regulations governing load capacity and cargo distribution for vessels subject to a U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License examination.
3. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the remaining deck cargo capacity based on the information provided in the question.
