The SS AMERICAN MARINER will sail with the load shown in table ST-120 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the drafts.

A FWD 26'-00", AFT 29'-00"
B FWD 26'-05", AFT 28'-07"
C FWD 26'-04", AFT 28'-10"
D FWD 26'-09", AFT 28'-05"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) FWD 26'-05", AFT 28'-07". To determine the drafts, you need to use the stability data provided in the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, which contains the necessary information to calculate the vessel's drafts based on the given load conditions. The explanation for why B is the correct answer is that the values provided in the table match the drafts calculated using the stability data, accounting for the vessel's load distribution and displacement. The other options do not accurately reflect the drafts based on the given information.
