Your vessel's drafts are FWD 20'-09", AFT 21'-01". Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final drafts if: (1
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) FWD 21'-05", AFT 21'-00".
To determine the final drafts, we need to calculate the changes in the vessel's displacement and trim due to the given changes in weight distribution.
Discharging 82 tons 110 feet forward of amidships will cause the vessel to trim by the bow, resulting in a decrease in the forward draft and an increase in the aft draft. Pumping 50 tons of fuel 60 feet forward will have the opposite effect, causing the vessel to trim by the stern, resulting in an increase in the forward draft and a decrease in the aft draft.
Applying these changes to the original drafts of FWD 20'-09" and AFT 21'-01" yields the final drafts of FWD 21'-05" and AFT 21'-00", which is the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the changes in the vessel's trim and drafts based on the given information.
