The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to load the cargo listed in table ST-0055 below. There is already 3684 tons of cargo on board with a KG of 28.4 feet. Use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading is completed.

A KG 27.0 feet
B KG 27.6 feet
C KG 28.2 feet
D KG 28.8 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) KG 27.6 feet. To determine the final KG (Vertical Center of Gravity) of all the cargo after loading is completed, you need to use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to calculate the combined KG of the existing cargo and the new cargo being loaded. Given information: - There is already 3684 tons of cargo on board with a KG of 28.4 feet. - The new cargo to be loaded is listed in table ST-0055. By referring to the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book and considering the weights and KG values of the existing and new cargo, the final KG of all the cargo after loading is calculated to be 27.6 feet, which makes option B the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final KG based on the provided information.
