Question 5 Deck General
70% to passYour vessel is on a voyage from Ogdensburg, NY, to Chicago, IL, via the Great Lakes. The date is October 3 of the current year. If your vessel is subject to the load line requirements, using illustration D031DG below, to which of her marks should she be loaded?
A
Salt water - Intermediate
B
Salt water - Winter
C
Fresh water - Intermediate
D
Fresh water - Winter
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Fresh water - Intermediate. The reasoning is that the vessel is traveling through the Great Lakes, which are considered fresh water, and the voyage is taking place in October, which falls under the Intermediate load line season. Therefore, the vessel should be loaded to the Fresh water - Intermediate mark, as indicated in the illustration D031DG. The other options are incorrect because Salt water load lines would not be applicable for a freshwater voyage, and the Winter load line would be for voyages during the colder winter months, not the Intermediate season of October.
