Q9. A vessel about to complete loading in a summer zone is expected to enter a winter zone after steaming from the loading port for 10 days. On passage, fuel consumption is expected to be 30 tonnes per day and water consumption 15 tonnes per day. The ship is at present floating in water of density 1.013 tonnes/m3 at a draft of 9.0m. (16)

Find:(a) The maximum permissible draft on completion of loading.(b) The amount of cargo which the vessel can load. (Note: A vessel passing from a summer zone to a winter zone, or from a tropical zone to summer zone, must arrive at the zone boundary at the draft appropriate to that zone).
