Question 2412Deck Safety70% to pass
You have 260 tons of below deck tonnage including liquid mud. Your existing deck cargo is 150 tons with a VCG above the deck of 2.2 feet. What is the maximum additional cargo tonnage you are permitted to load? See illustration D036DG below.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 210 tons.
The maximum additional cargo tonnage is determined by the available remaining load capacity, which is the difference between the vessel's total tonnage capacity and the existing deck cargo and below-deck tonnage (including liquid mud).
Given information:
- Total below-deck tonnage, including liquid mud: 260 tons
- Existing deck cargo: 150 tons with a VCG (Vertical Center of Gravity) above the deck of 2.2 feet
To calculate the maximum additional cargo tonnage, we need to subtract the existing cargo from the total tonnage capacity. The total tonnage capacity minus the existing cargo (260 tons + 150 tons) is 410 tons, so the maximum additional cargo tonnage is 210 tons.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the available remaining load capacity based on the given information.
