AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 5649 tons.
To determine the amount of additional cargo that can be loaded, we need to calculate the difference between the current draft and the freeboard draft, which is the maximum allowable draft. According to the information provided, the current drafts are FWD 18'-09" and AFT 19'-01". The freeboard draft can be found in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). Subtracting the current drafts from the freeboard draft gives us the additional cargo that can be loaded, which is 5649 tons.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculation based on the given information and the Stability Data Reference Book.
