Question 2422Deck Safety70% to pass
Your drafts are: FWD 23'-03", AFT 24'-01". Use the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the vessels displacement if you are in fresh water.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 12,000 tons.
To determine the vessel's displacement in fresh water, we can use the information provided about the draft measurements and the Stability Data Reference Book. The draft measurements of FWD 23'-03" and AFT 24'-01" indicate that the vessel's mean draft is 23'-07". By using the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book, which provide displacement information based on draft, we can find that a mean draft of 23'-07" corresponds to a displacement of approximately 12,000 tons in fresh water.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the displacement value derived from the provided draft measurements and the Stability Data Reference Book.
