Question 2275 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) 9069 tons. To determine the amount of additional cargo that can be loaded, we need to calculate the difference between the freeboard draft and the current draft. The freeboard draft is the maximum allowable draft for the vessel to maintain the required freeboard. By using the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, we can find the freeboard draft and then calculate the additional cargo capacity. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the additional cargo capacity based on the given draft information and the freeboard draft requirements.
