Your vessel arrive in port with sufficient fuel to steam 1175 miles at 19 knots. If you are unable to take on bunkers, at what speed must you proceed to reach your next port, 1341 miles distance?
Given:
Old distance = 1175 miles
New distance = 1341 miles
Old speed = 19 knots
What is asked?
New speed
Solution:
New Speed = √ Speed2 x Old Distant
New Distance
= √192 kts x 1175 mi
1341 mi
= √361 kts x 1175 mi
1341 mi
= √424175
1341
= √316.31
New Speed = 17.8 knots
