You are scheduled to load 3900 tons of cargo, 45 tons of crew effects and stores and 359 tons of fuel. Use the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the vessel's mean draft in fresh water.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 18'-01".
To determine the vessel's mean draft in fresh water, we need to use the information provided about the cargo, crew effects, stores, and fuel. By adding up the weights of these items and using the Stability Data Reference Book, we can calculate the vessel's mean draft.
The Stability Data Reference Book provides tables and formulas to calculate the mean draft based on the total weight of the vessel. Using the given information, the total weight is 3900 + 45 + 359 = 4304 tons. Referring to the appropriate table in the blue pages, the mean draft in fresh water for a total weight of 4304 tons is 18'-01".
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the calculated mean draft of 18'-01" based on the provided information.
