The SS AMERICAN MARINER arrived in port with drafts of: FWD 19'-10.5", AFT 22'-11.6". Cargo was loaded and discharged as indicated in table ST-0154 below. Use sheet 2 in the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final drafts.

A FWD 19'-11.7", AFT 23'-02.5"
B FWD 19'-09.3", AFT 22'-08.7"
C FWD 19'-07.6", AFT 22'-10.4"
D FWD 20'-01.4", AFT 23'-00.6"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) FWD 19'-07.6", AFT 22'-10.4". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the stability data provided in the table ST-0154 and the Stability Data Reference Book. The initial drafts are given as FWD 19'-10.5" and AFT 22'-11.6". The table shows the changes in weight and moment due to loading and discharging cargo. Applying these changes to the initial drafts, we arrive at the final drafts of FWD 19'-07.6" and AFT 22'-10.4". The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the changes in drafts based on the given information.
