Q7. A ship, summer DWT 92546 t on 13.

44 m draft and TPC 46 is loading at Dalian

(China) for Europort, bunkering at Singapore and cape town, ROBs at Dalian FO/620 t
(daily consumption 42t at sea), FW/210t (daily consumption 12t) and stores 82t.
(Constant 524t). Five days of reserve of fuel and fresh water to be maintained at all
times at sea. (Ignore Port consumption). 1500t of cargo is to be loaded at Colombo.

Passages/Zones are estimated to be:

Dalian to Singapore (8 days) : Summer 3 days, rest in Tropical
Singapore to Colombo (6 days) : Tropical
Colombo to Cape Town (17 days) : 3 days Tropical, then 10 days in seasonal
Tropical Area – Summer and the rest in
Seasonal Tropical Area – Tropical.
Cape Town to Europort (16 days) : 2.5 days Tropical,
Then 3 days Summer, then 4.5 days in Seasonal Winter Zone in winter and the rest in
Winter Zone.

Find the maximum cargo that can be loaded at Dalian, and what additional quantity of
cargo, if any can be lifted from Cape Town if just the required amount of bunkers
were to be taken at Singapore and Cape Town.

Answer: Summer Draft = 13.44m

Difference between Summer and Tropical / Winter drafts = 13.44 / 48 = 28 cm
Tropical DWT = Summer DWT + (28 x 46) = 92546 + 1288 = 93834t
Winter DWT = Summer DWT - (28 x 46) = 92546 – 1288 = 91258t
