AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 16'-09".
The key to determining the vessel's mean draft in fresh water is to use the information provided about the cargo, crew effects, stores, and fuel loads, and then refer to the Stability Data Reference Book to find the corresponding draft.
Based on the given information, the total weight of the vessel is 3200 tons (cargo) + 45 tons (crew effects and stores) + 259 tons (fuel) = 3504 tons. Using the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book, the mean draft in fresh water for a total weight of 3504 tons is 16'-09".
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the mean draft value found in the Stability Data Reference Book for the total weight of the vessel.
