🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the recommended loading sequence for a single belt loader in the M.V. GRAND HAVEN Guidance Manual • Relate the desired mean draft (29'-11") to the corresponding total cargo tonnage in the loading tables • Understand that the question asks for the total tons loaded through hatch No. 1, not the total cargo on the ship

💭 Think About

• First, find in the manual which loading plan/table applies: single belt loader, iron ore, target mean draft near 30 feet • From that plan, determine the total cargo for the target mean draft and then track, step-by-step, how much of that total is assigned to each hatch following the recommended sequence • Focus on how much of the total goes specifically to hatch 1 in that plan, and be careful whether the table lists per pour, per pass, or total per hatch

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the single belt (not twin belt or different cargo) iron ore table that includes mean draft 29'-11" or the closest value specified for that plan • Verify whether the table gives cumulative tons per hatch or incremental tons for each loading step; interpret it consistently • Double-check that the number you choose is the sum for hatch No. 1 over the entire loading sequence, not just the first or last loading step at that hatch
