70% to passThe SS AMERICAN MARINER arrived in port with drafts of: FWD 18'-10", AFT 18'-06". Cargo was loaded and discharged as indicated in table ST-0140 below. Use sheet 2 in the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final drafts.
A
FWD 18'-00", AFT 19'-06"
B
FWD 18'-02", AFT 19'-04"
C
FWD 18'-04", AFT 19'-02"
D
FWD 18'-06", AFT 19'-00"
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) FWD 18'-04", AFT 19'-02". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the Stability Data Reference Book's sheet 2 in the white pages. The initial drafts were FWD 18'-10" and AFT 18'-06". After loading and discharging cargo as indicated in the table ST-0140, the final drafts become FWD 18'-04" and AFT 19'-02". This is because the change in drafts is calculated based on the change in weight and distribution of the cargo. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final drafts based on the given information.
