🔍 Key Concepts

• Displacement and draft relationship – how removing weight changes the vessel’s draft using TPI (tons per inch immersion) or TPC (tons per centimeter) from the load form • Tank soundings/weights – how to read the liquid mud tank data on Sample Load Form #3, especially Table 8, to find the total mud weight being removed • Even-keel vs. trim effects – whether dumping the mud will change only the mean draft or also create trim, and which value the question is asking for

💭 Think About

• First, from Sample Load Form #3 and Table 8, determine the total weight of liquid mud that is currently on board and will be dumped. How do you find this from the tank tables? • Next, find the vessel’s TPI/TPC at the current draft from the hydrostatic data on the load form. How does this tell you how much the draft changes for each unit of weight removed? • Finally, apply the draft change to the original draft given in the problem. Are you being asked for mean draft, forward draft, or aft draft?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the correct total mud weight from all mud tanks listed in Table 8 (no tank skipped or double-counted). • Verify that you are using the TPI/TPC value at the correct draft range from the hydrostatic table, not a value from a much shallower or deeper draft. • Double-check units: if TPC is given, be sure to convert centimeters of immersion to feet and inches before comparing with the multiple‑choice answers.
