Your vessel's existing draft is FWD 14'-00", AFT 16'-00". Using the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN, determine the new draft if 350 long tons are discharged from No. 13 hatch.

A FWD 13'-03 5/8", AFT 15'-03 1/8"
B FWD 13'-04 3/4", AFT 15'-03 1/4"
C FWD 13'-05 1/5", AFT 15'-04 3/5"
D FWD 13'-08 4/5", AFT 15'-08 4/5"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) FWD 13'-08 4/5", AFT 15'-08 4/5". To determine the new draft after discharging 350 long tons from No. 13 hatch, we need to use the information provided in the Guidance Manual for Loading M.V. GRAND HAVEN. This manual would likely contain the vessel's hydrostatic data and loading information, which can be used to calculate the new draft based on the change in displacement. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in draft based on the given information. The calculations necessary to arrive at the correct answer of D) require using the vessel's specific loading and stability data, which is why this is the only valid option.
