🔍 Key Concepts

• Using the vessel’s original mean draft from Sample Load Form #5 before the new load is added • How trim by the stern affects forward and aft drafts differently • How a list to port changes port and starboard drafts at the same end of the vessel

💭 Think About

• First, determine the new mean draft after loading 275.8 long tons using the vessel’s TPI or displacement data provided on the load form • Apply the 3-foot trim by the stern to find the new aft draft (before considering list), then adjust that aft draft for the 2-foot list to port • Compare the resulting starboard aft draft to the answer choices, paying attention to feet and inches conversions

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the original mean draft and the TPI or tons-per-inch immersion on Sample Load Form #5 • Confirm how the trim correction is distributed between forward and aft drafts based on the vessel’s length between perpendiculars • Check that the list correction at the stern increases draft on the port side and decreases it on the starboard side, and that you applied this in the correct direction
