🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the loading diagram curve to find the maximum safe deck cargo for a given below deck tonnage • Understand how to plot the current loading condition (existing below deck + deck cargo) on the graph • Remember that the VCG limit of 3.0 ft above deck may restrict loading, but your given VCG is only 1.9 ft

💭 Think About

• On the graph, at 300 tons below deck, about how many long tons of deck cargo does the safe‑loading line allow? • Once you know the maximum permitted deck cargo from the graph, how do you use your existing 180 tons on deck to find how much more you can load? • Does the given VCG of 1.9 ft above the deck require any further reduction from the value you read on the diagram, given the 3.0 ft limit noted in the instructions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are reading the vertical (deck cargo) scale in long tons, not feet or some other unit • Make sure you read the value on the safe‑loading boundary line at 300 tons below deck, not in the unsafe zone above it • After finding the maximum deck cargo, subtract the 180 tons already on deck to get the additional amount that could be loaded
