🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the loading diagram D036DG to relate below deck tonnage to allowable above deck cargo • Remember that liquid mud below deck adds to total below deck tonnage and may move your point into a different zone • Follow the graph procedure: vertical line from below-deck tons, horizontal line from above-deck tons, compare with the curve between SAFE and UNSAFE loading

💭 Think About

• After adding the 160 tons of liquid mud, what is your new total below deck tonnage and where does that fall on the x‑axis of the diagram? • Starting from your present above deck cargo, how far can you move horizontally (increase deck cargo) before your point touches the limiting curve on the graph? • Does operating in Zone I vs outside Zone I change any ballast requirement that might affect how much deck cargo you can safely carry?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recalculate total below deck tons: original below deck plus the new liquid mud • Use the diagram scale carefully to read the maximum allowed above deck cargo for that below deck value • Confirm whether any special notes on the diagram (such as forepeak ballast requirements) apply at your final loading condition
