Question 2405 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) 94 tons. To explain: 1) The total below deck tonnage is 360 tons, and you must load an additional 220 tons of liquid mud below deck. This leaves 360 - 220 = 140 tons of available below deck tonnage. 2) Since the question states you have 145 tons of above deck cargo, and the maximum available deck cargo is 239 tons (the total capacity minus the below deck cargo), the amount of additional deck cargo you can load is 239 - 145 = 94 tons. 3) The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the remaining available deck cargo capacity.
