Question 2706 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 5.6 feet. To determine the KG (vertical center of gravity) of the liquid load, you need to refer to the stability data provided in The Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the information given in the table ST-0075, the KG of the liquid load for the SS AMERICAN MARINER is 5.6 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the KG value provided in the reference book for the given liquid load conditions. Option A (4.0 feet) and Option C (6.0 feet) are too low and too high, respectively, while Option D (6.8 feet) is also incorrect.
