Question 2260 Deck Safety
70% to passYou are loading in a port subject to the tropical load line mark and bound for a port subject to the winter load line mark. You will enter the summer zone after steaming eleven days, and you will enter the winter zone after a total of fourteen days. You will consume 36 tons of fuel, water, and stores per day. The hydrometer reading at the loading pier is 1.025, and the average TPI is 51. What is the minimum freeboard required at the start of the voyage? Reference Table BL-0006 below.
The correct answer is B) 81.0 inches. To determine the minimum freeboard required at the start of the voyage, we need to refer to Table BL-0006 in the regulations. Since the vessel is loading in a port subject to the tropical load line mark and bound for a port subject to the winter load line mark, the minimum freeboard must be calculated based on the winter load line. According to the table, the minimum freeboard for a vessel with a hydrometer reading of 1.025 and an average TPI of 51 in the winter zone is 81.0 inches. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the minimum freeboard requirement specified in the table for the given conditions.
