Question 2693 Deck Safety
70% to passThe SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to load the cargo listed in table ST-0028 below. There is already 3315 tons of cargo on board with a KG of 27.0 feet. Use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading is completed.
The correct answer is C) KG 28.6 feet. To determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading, we need to use the Stability Data Reference Book to calculate the new KG based on the existing cargo and the additional cargo to be loaded. The key information provided is the existing cargo of 3315 tons with a KG of 27.0 feet, and the cargo listed in table ST-0028. By referencing the white pages in the Stability Data Reference Book, we can calculate the final KG to be 28.6 feet, which corresponds to answer choice C. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final KG after the additional cargo is loaded, as calculated using the Stability Data Reference Book.
