Question 2558 Deck Safety

70% to pass

The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to sail with the load shown in table ST- 0081 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the available GM.

A Available GM 2.8 ft
B Available GM 3.2 ft
C Available GM 3.5 ft
D Available GM 3.8 ft
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Available GM 2.8 ft. This is determined by using the information provided in the table ST-0081 and referencing the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, which contain stability curves and other relevant data for the SS AMERICAN MARINER. Based on the loading condition in the table, the available GM (Metacentric Height) is 2.8 feet, as indicated in the stability data. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the available GM value obtained from the stability reference material for the given loading condition of the vessel.
