LOADING CALCULATIONS OR LOADLINE PROBLEMS

.
 1. A ship of deadweight capacities 8940 tons(winter),9335 tons
(summer)and 9378 tons(tropical) to load a full cargo of grain in Bahia
Blanca for Kobe via cape town and Miri. After discharging at Kobe , she is
to proceed in ballast to prince Rupert. From the information given below
find the maximum amount of cargo she can load at Bahia Blanca and
what bunkers should be taken there and at cape town and Miri
respectively , with the intention of leaving Kobe with the maximum
possible amount.

Bahia Blanca to Cape Town -10 ½ days-summer zone throughout.

Cape town to Miri-16 days -summer- tropical in that order
Miri to Kobe-8 days -tropical for the first 1 ½ days, then summer
Daily consumption-diesel oil 16 tons, water 10 tons (ignore port consumption).
Fuel prices per ton-pound 340 Bahia Blanca, pound 335 Cape town, pound 306
Miri, pound 329 Kobe.
Maximum diesel oil capacity-850 tons.
Reserve of oil and fuel to be 5 days supply at all times of sailing.
Allowance for stores etc., consumed –Bahia Blanca to Cape Town -15 tons
- Cape Town to miri-22 tons
Allowance for stores etc., replenished - Cape Town-36 tons, Miri-24 tons
Provisions and stores (not incl. water) on board at Bahia Blanca amount
to 128 tons.

2. From the given data calculate the weight of Cargo a vessel can load at
Montreal, if she is to sail for Glasgow at about midnight of 9 th October. Length -
98.2m, Breadth -12.3 m, Summer draft-6.24m,Block Co-efficient 0.79, TPC- 10,
Light displacement-1727 tons. The vessel Consumes 14 tons of fuel oil and 6
tons of water, per day. On board at Montreal are 310 tons of fuel, 80 tons of
water, and 10 tons of stores. She will be in North Atlantic Winter seasonal
zone I when the winter season commenced at 0000,16 th October(R.D of sea
water – 1.025)

Note:- Since the vessel is less than 100mtrs in length and will be in the
North Atlantic winter seasonal zone I when the winter season
commences at 0000 hrs. on 16th October, the minimum permitted free
board then will be WNA freeboard which is 50mm (5cm) greater than
the winter freeboard. The winter freeboard is 1/48 of the summer draft
greater than the summer freeboard.
3 A vessel has summer deadweight of 24562 MT (Summer Draft 10.56 M, TPC 25
MT). Her daily consumption of fuel oil is 25 MT and fresh water I l MT. She is loading
at Campana Bay, Chile for Le Havre, France. As per the company's instructions, the
vessel is to maintain 2 days of reserve of fuel oil and 4 days of reserve of fresh water
at all times at sea. Prior departure Campana Bay, the vessel had fuel oil 415 MT and
fresh water 190 MT. The vessel will bunker en-route at Panama.Calculate the
maximum amount of cargo to load at Campana Bay and the fuel oil, fresh water to be
taken at Panama to complete the voyage if,

a) Campana Bay to Panama - Tropical Zone - 9 days

b) Panama to Seasonal Tropical Area - Tropical - 3 days
c) Seasonal Tropical Area to Seasonal Winter Zone - Summer - 8 days
d) Seasonal Winter Zone to I,e Havre - Winter - 9 days

maintain a reserve of 6 days fuel at all times. What quantities of fuel should
she take in at Los Angeles and Curucao?
