AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) FWD 29'-01", AFT 30'-10". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0009 to calculate the changes in draft based on the cargo loaded and discharged. The key factors are the weight of the cargo and the longitudinal position of the cargo on the vessel. By applying these changes to the initial drafts, we can arrive at the final drafts. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the changes in draft based on the given cargo information.
