Question 2317Deck Safety70% to pass
A vessel's drafts are FWD 20'-08", AFT 20'-10". Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final drafts if 195 tons of cargo are discharged 76 feet forward of amidships.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) FWD 19'-09", AFT 21'-01".
When 195 tons of cargo are discharged 76 feet forward of amidships, the vessel's drafts will change due to the shift in weight distribution. Using the Stability Data Reference Book, we can calculate the new drafts.
The key information is the initial drafts of FWD 20'-08" and AFT 20'-10", and the discharge of 195 tons of cargo 76 feet forward of amidships. By applying these factors, the final drafts become FWD 19'-09" and AFT 21'-01".
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the changes in draft caused by the cargo discharge.
