🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the loading diagram D036DG: vertical axis is above-deck cargo tons, horizontal axis is below-deck tonnage (fuel, water, cargo, etc.). • Total below-deck tonnage must include what is already below plus the new liquid mud you are adding. • You must stay on or below the safe‐loading curve; anything above that curve is unsafe.

💭 Think About

• After adding the 110 tons of liquid mud, what is your new total below-deck tonnage? • On the diagram, if you start at that new below-deck tonnage on the bottom axis and go straight up to the safe-loading curve, what value on the left axis (deck cargo) does that correspond to? • Once you know the maximum permitted deck cargo from the graph, how do you use the 300 tons already on deck to figure out how much additional deck cargo can be loaded?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you add the liquid mud to the existing 160 tons below deck before using the graph. • Confirm you are reading the correct curve/line that separates SAFE LOADING from UNSAFE LOADING at the point where your vertical line hits it. • Double-check that your final step uses maximum allowed deck cargo minus 300 tons already on deck, not the other way around.
