AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) FWD 29'-05", AFT 28'-05". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the stability data reference book and the information provided about the cargo loading and unloading. The stability data reference book provides the necessary information to calculate the final drafts based on the initial drafts and the cargo changes. Option B is correct because it accurately reflects the changes in the vessel's drafts due to the cargo operations, as indicated in the stability data table. The other options do not correctly calculate the final drafts based on the given information.
