🔍 Key Concepts

• Trim and draft calculations using a loading manual or guidance manual tables • Effect of cargo test weight (stowage factor / density) on required ballast • Using the M.V. Grand Haven loading manual curves or tables for a specific draft condition

💭 Think About

• How does a lighter grain (lower test weight in lbs per bushel) change how deeply the vessel sits in the water compared to a heavier grain cargo? • When you look up the condition in the Guidance Manual, what are the steps: do you first match displacement, drafts, or cargo weight? • Once you identify the condition closest to 17'-00" forward and 22'-06" aft, how does the manual show the corresponding ballast requirements for No. 1(P&S)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the correct page and condition in the M.V. Grand Haven Guidance Manual for grain at 43 lbs test weight • Verify that you are reading No. 1 tanks (Port and Starboard), not another tank pair with a similar label • Double-check whether the ballast figure listed is per tank or total for both tanks, since the answers are given as tons each
