Question 2331Deck Safety70% to pass
You are scheduled to load 4700 tons of cargo, 45 tons of crew effects and stores and 323 tons of fuel. Use the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the vessel's mean draft in salt water.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 19'-00".
To determine the vessel's mean draft in salt water, we need to use the Deadweight Scale from the Stability Data Reference Book. Given the total cargo weight of 4700 tons, crew effects and stores of 45 tons, and fuel weight of 323 tons, the total deadweight is 5068 tons. Using the Deadweight Scale, a total deadweight of 5068 tons corresponds to a mean draft of 19'-00" in salt water.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the mean draft value obtained from the Stability Data Reference Book for the given deadweight.
