You are Chief Officer on MV Strathclyde, a 15175 DWT general purpose cargo
vessel, the particulars of which are shown in the accompanying stability data
booklet. The vessel has a full rig of derricks. The vessel is currently on a voyage
carrying general cargo as stated in the cargo loading sheet.

SECTION 1 & 3 must be answered in a separate answer book.

SECTION 1

Cargo and Port Operations

The ship is currently discharging a cargo of Bulk Phosphate. On completion of

discharge the vessel is to proceed to a loading berth to load a mixed cargo of
general cargo to her maximum Summer Load Draft in density 1.025.

The details of the cargo to be loaded are as per Cargo Datasheets 1and 2

1. After discharging the Phosphate, describe the preparation of the holds prior
to loading the general cargo. (10)

2. With regard to the safe and efficient loading and stowage discuss EACH of
