Question 1 of 2066636ee728f7522a1c517538

Assuming that the recommended hatch loading sequence is followed, how many long tons of iron ore may be loaded through hatches 8 & 12 while using a single belt loader to arrive at a desired mean keel draft of 28'-03"? (use the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN).

🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the Grand Haven loading guidance tables for the single-belt sequence to reach a specific mean draft • Relate total cargo weight to change in draft using the vessel’s deadweight scale or loading table in the manual • Understand how much of the remaining required tonnage is assigned to each hatch in that particular step of the sequence

💭 Think About

• First, determine how many tons are required to go from the vessel’s light (or current) condition to the desired 28'-03" mean draft using the manual—what total cargo weight does that draft correspond to? • From the recommended loading sequence, identify at which step hatches 8 and 12 are loaded with the single belt and what per-hatch tonnage is specified for that step to fine‑tune the mean draft. • Check if the tonnage through hatches 8 and 12 at that stage is meant to be equal per hatch and whether that matches the remaining tons needed to reach the target draft.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you are using the correct draft/tonnage table in the Grand Haven manual for the condition given in the problem (ballast vs. loaded condition). • Confirm you are on the single-belt recommended sequence page and locate the specific step where hatches 8 and 12 are loaded together. • Double-check that the figure you use is per hatch, not a combined total for both hatches, before matching it to the answer choices.
