AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 2230 tons. According to the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN, the recommended hatch loading sequence should be followed to arrive at the desired mean keel draft of 29'-11". Assuming this sequence is followed, the maximum amount of iron ore that can be loaded through hatch No. 1 using a single belt loader is 2230 long tons. The other options are incorrect because they exceed the maximum capacity specified in the guidance manual. Option B (2270 tons), C (2310 tons), and D (2350 tons) all exceed the 2230 ton limit for hatch No. 1 under the recommended loading sequence.
