Question 158 Deck General

The correct answer is B) FWD 18'-10.8", AFT 20'-10.4". To determine the new draft after discharging 170 long tons from No. 8 hatch, you need to use the information provided in the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN. The manual would provide the necessary data, such as the ship's displacement, to calculate the new draft based on the change in weight. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in draft resulting from the 170 long tons being discharged. The correct calculation, as per the guidance manual, would result in the new draft of FWD 18'-10.8" and AFT 20'-10.4".
