🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. Grand Haven tables for GRAIN, not the ore or ballast tables • Select the table line that matches both the grain test weight (37.6 lbs) and the required drafts forward and aft • Remember that tank No. 3 is P & S (port and starboard), so the manual’s value may be per side or total—check the heading carefully

💭 Think About

• First, find the correct loading condition page in the manual that corresponds to grain of 37.6 lbs. What information in the table heading confirms you’re on the right page? • Once on the correct page, how do you match the required 17'-00" forward and 22'-06" aft drafts to the specific row or combination of rows in the table? • After you locate the correct condition, where in that line/row does it show the ballast in No. 3 tanks, and how is that amount labeled (per tank, per side, or total)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you are using the grain test weight 37.6 lbs table, not a different test weight • Verify the selected line matches both drafts: 17'-00" forward and 22'-06" aft (not just the mean draft) • Verify whether the listed ballast value for No. 3 is per side or for both tanks combined, and adjust your choice accordingly
