The SS AMERICAN MARINER will sail with the load shown in table ST-0113 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the drafts.

A FWD 18'-05", AFT 21'-05"
B FWD 17'-10", AFT 22'-00"
C FWD 18'-00", AFT 21'-10"
D FWD 18'-06", AFT 22'-01"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) FWD 17'-10", AFT 22'-00". To determine the drafts, you need to use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, which provide the necessary information to calculate the drafts based on the given load shown in table ST-0113. By referencing the appropriate tables and parameters in the white pages, the correct forward and aft drafts can be calculated as 17'-10" and 22'-00" respectively. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the drafts calculated using the information provided in the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book.
