Question 1 of 2066636ee728f7522a1c517535

Assuming that the recommended hatch loading sequence is followed, how many long tons of iron ore may be loaded through hatch No. 23 while using a single belt loader to arrive at a desired mean keel draft of 28'-00"? (Use the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN.)

🔍 Key Concepts

• Loading manuals and curves for the M.V. GRAND HAVEN (how to read the hatch-by-hatch loading tables) • Relationship between tons loaded, trim, and mean draft • Effect of loading sequence with a single belt loader on how much can go into each hatch

💭 Think About

• First, determine how many total tons must be loaded to reach a 28'-00" mean draft from the manual, then see how this total is distributed among the hatches in the recommended sequence. • Identify what has already been loaded in previous hatches before reaching hatch No. 23 when using a single belt loader, then find the remaining tons that can be put into No. 23. • Check whether the manual lists a specific maximum for hatch No. 23 at the target draft/condition and whether trim limits or bending moment/shear constraints reduce the amount below that maximum.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the total cargo weight required for 28'-00" mean draft from the GRAND HAVEN loading data, not from memory. • Confirm the recommended loading sequence and note exactly which hatches are filled, and to what tonnages, before hatch No. 23 in the single-belt scenario. • Check that the chosen tonnage for hatch No. 23 keeps the vessel within bending moment and shear force limits as shown in the manual’s loading curves.
