Assuming that the recommended hatch loading sequence is followed, how many long tons of iron ore may be loaded through hatches 5 & 7 while using a single belt loader, to arrive at a desired mean keel draft of 25'-02"? (Use the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN.)

A 1410 tons

B 1450 tons

C 1490 tons

D 1520 tons

AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 1520 tons. This is based on the guidance provided in the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN, which specifies the recommended hatch loading sequence and the maximum cargo capacity for the vessel. Given the desired mean keel draft of 25'-02", the manual indicates that the maximum cargo that can be loaded through hatches 5 and 7 using a single belt loader is 1520 long tons. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the maximum cargo capacity specified in the guidance manual for the given loading conditions.
