Question 2411Deck Safety70% to pass
You have 520 tons of below deck tonnage including liquid mud. Your existing deck cargo is 160 tons with a VCG above the deck of 2.7 feet. What is the maximum cargo tonnage you are permitted to load? See illustration D036DG below.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 84 tons.
According to the stability regulations for vessels, the maximum cargo tonnage that can be loaded is determined by the available remaining deadweight capacity. In this case, with 520 tons of below deck tonnage including liquid mud, and 160 tons of existing deck cargo with a VCG of 2.7 feet, the remaining deadweight capacity is 84 tons. This is calculated by subtracting the existing deck cargo tonnage (160 tons) from the total deadweight capacity, which is limited by the 520 tons of below deck tonnage. The other options are incorrect as they exceed the available remaining deadweight capacity.
