Question 2349 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) FWD 21'-11.3", AFT 23'-01.8". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0087 and apply it to the initial drafts of the vessel. The key steps are: 1) Calculate the change in draft from the cargo operations using the table. 2) Add the draft changes to the initial drafts to get the final drafts. The table shows that the cargo operations resulted in a forward draft increase of 1'-3.8" and an aft draft increase of 4'-2.3". Adding these changes to the initial drafts of FWD 21'-09.5" and AFT 22'-09.5" gives the final drafts of FWD 21'-11.3" and AFT 23'-01.8". The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the draft changes from the cargo operations to the initial drafts.
