Practice question
In the official SHOA Tide Tables (Tablas de Marea de la Costa de Chile), how are tidal predictions for a 'Secondary Port' (Puerto Secundario) determined relative to a 'Standard Port' (Puerto Patrón)?
- By applying published time differences (diferencias de hora) and height differences or ratios (diferencias de altura) to the standard port's predicted high and low waters
- By multiplying the standard port's tidal height by the vessel's deadweight tonnage
- By adding 12 hours and 25 minutes directly to the standard port's predictions without height correction
- By using the secondary port's atmospheric pressure reading instead of tide tables
Answer: A — By applying published time differences (diferencias de hora) and height differences or ratios (diferencias de altura) to the standard port's predicted high and low waters
