You are scheduled to load 3700 tons of cargo, 45 tons of crew effects and stores and 427 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 C) 17'-10".
To determine the vessel's mean draft in fresh water, you need to use the information provided about the cargo, crew effects and stores, and fuel. The Stability Data Reference Book provides tables and formulas to calculate the draft based on the vessel's displacement.
Given the total weight of 4172 tons (3700 tons of cargo, 45 tons of crew effects and stores, and 427 tons of fuel), the Stability Data Reference Book indicates that the vessel's mean draft in fresh water would be 17'-10".
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated draft from the reference book data.
