Q1
MV AQUAMARINE has the following deadweight (tonnes) capacities :
Tropical Summer Winter
26,625 25,875 25,125

The vessel is to load a full cargo at Lagos for discharge at Oslo. On departure at Lagos she has on board
760 tonnes of fuel, 200 tonnes of water and 250 tonnes of stores. She consumes 38 tonnes of fuel and 10
tonnes of water daily (Consumption of stores for the voyage is negligible)

Passages are estimated as follows:

Lagos to Oslo = 13 days (Tropical 6 days, summer 2 days then winter 5 days)

Find the maximum weight of cargo the ship can load at Lagos if she is to maintain a minimum reserve of 6
days for fuel and water at all times?

Q2
MV PEGASUS of 24100 tonnes deadweight on a summer draught of 12.25 metres and TPC 32 is loading
at Brisbane for Vancouver and is to call at Honolulu for bunkers and water.

Her daily fuel consumption is 38 tonnes and water consumption is 10 tonnes per day. A reserve of 5 days
fuel and water is to be kept on board at all times

Brisbane to Honolulu - 10 days (Tropical zone for 8 days then seasonal tropical zone in summer season)
Honolulu to Vancouver - 6 days (Seasonal tropical zone in summer season for 1.5 days then seasonal
winter zone in winter season.

The vessel had 680 tonnes of fuel, 160 tonnes of water and 400 tonnes of stores (negligible amount used
during voyage) on leaving Brisbane.

a) Calculate the tropical and winter deadweight of the vessel.

b) How much fuel and water must she replenish at Honolulu?
c) Calculate the maximum cargo she can load at Brisbane?

ANSWER
a) Deadweight Calculation

International Load Lines Convention (ILLC) states that the minimum freeboard in the Tropical Zone shall be
the freeboard obtained by a deduction from the summer freeboard of one forty-eighth of the summer
draught.

Summer to Tropical allowance = 1/48 X 12.25 = 0.2552083 m = 25.52083 cm

Summer to Tropical allowance (deadweight) = TPC X 25.52083 = 32 X 25.52083 = 816.66 tonnes
Therefore Tropical deadweight = SDWT + 816.66 = 24100 + 816.6 = 24,917 tonnes

International Load Lines Convention (ILLC) states that the minimum freeboard in winter shall be the
freeboard obtained by an addition to the summer freeboard of one forty-eighth of summer draught

Summer to Winter allowance = 1/48 X 12.25 = 0.2552083 m = 25.52083 cm

Summer to Winter allowance (deadweight) = TPC X 25.52083 = 32 X 25.52083 = 816.66 tonnes
Therefore Winter deadweight = SDWT - 816.66 = 24100 - 816.6 = 23,283 tonnes

b) Fuel and water calculation
Fuel onboard at Brisbane = 680 T
Consumption Brisbane to Honolulu (10 D x 38 T) = 380 T
Fuel on arrival at Honolulu = 300 T
Fuel required to reach Vancouver with 5 days reserve (6+5) X 38 = 418 T
Amount of fuel to bunker in Honolulu (418 – 300) = 118 T

Water onboard at Brisbane = 160 T

Consumption Brisbane to Honolulu (10 D x 10 T) = 100 T
Water on arrival at Honolulu = 60 T
Water required to reach Vancouver with 5 days reserve (6+5) X 10 = 110 T
Amount of water to replenish in Honolulu (110 – 60) = 50 T

Less maximum excess or add minimum shortage = 1250
Maximum permissible deadweight depart Brisbane = 23667
ROB fuel/water/stores depart Brisbane (640+160+400) = 1240
Therefore maximum cargo to load at Brisbane = 22427

Q.10
MV Discovery of summer deadweight 20300 tons, tropical deadweight 20800 tons, winter deadweight
19800 tons is to load in Shanghai for discharge at Southampton, calling at Singapore and Cape Town.

The ship is to load an additional 2500 tons of cargo at Singapore.

Bunkers initially on board at Shanghai is 350 tons and daily consumption is 48 tons. Fresh water initially
onboard is 120 tons and consumption per day is 18 tons.
Bunkers and fresh water are to be replenished at Singapore and there should be 3 days reserve of oil fuel
and fresh water at all times.

The sea passage is estimated as follows :

Shanghai to Singapore – 3 days summer and 2 days tropical zone (total 5 days)
Singapore to Cape Town – 10 days tropical and 3 days summer zone (total 13 days).
Cape Town to Southampton – 2 days summer, 10 days tropical and 2 days winter zone (total 14 days).

Calculate the following :

a) bunker and fresh water to be replenished at Shanghai, Singapore and Cape Town.
b) maximum amount of cargo to load at Shanghai.

Answer
a) Replenish at Shanghai FO = 34 FW = 24
Singapore FO = 624 FW = 234
Cape Town FO = 672 FW = 252
b) Max cargo to load in Shanghai = 16678 tonnes
