🔍 Key Concepts

• Fresh Water Load Lines in the Great Lakes vs. saltwater load lines • Seasonal load line zones and date restrictions for the Great Lakes (summer, intermediate, winter) • How long the voyage lasts relative to the season change date

💭 Think About

• Look at the departure date and add the voyage duration. On which calendar date will the vessel be on the Great Lakes approaching Duluth? • Consider which seasonal load line applies at the start of the voyage and which must apply by the time the vessel reaches the later dates of the voyage. • Compare what each answer choice is saying about when the vessel must change from summer to intermediate or winter marks. Which one correctly matches the rule about the specific changeover date on the Great Lakes?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact calendar date when the Great Lakes summer load line season ends and the next season begins. • Check whether a vessel that departs in summer season can legally complete a voyage that extends into the next season without changing marks en route. • Confirm whether the regulation talks about being at winter marks by a certain date, at intermediate marks by a certain date, or simply prohibits submerging certain marks after a specific cutoff date.
