360. Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 13'-11″, AFT 16'-05″. How much more cargo can be loaded to have the vessel down to the freeboard draft? (Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

The correct answer is 7779 tons. To determine the additional cargo weight, compare the vessel's displacement at the current mean draft with the displacement at the freeboard draft, as found in the Stability Data Reference Book. Calculate the difference in displacement to find the allowable cargo weight.
