You are loading 530,000 barrels of cargo oil. At 0945 on 13 April, you find that you have loaded 202,000 barrels. At 1130, you find that you have loaded 223,000 barrels. When will you complete loading if you continue at the same rate?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — 1305, 14 April
Loading rate is calculated as 21,000 barrels per 1.75 hours (12,000 bbl/hr). Remaining cargo of 328,000 barrels requires approximately 27.33 hours. Adding this duration to 1130 on 13 April yields completion at 1305 on 14 April.
