Question 2425Deck Safety70% to pass
Your drafts are: FWD 23'-03", AFT 27'-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 B) 12,900 tons.
To determine the vessel's displacement in fresh water, we can use the information provided about the drafts (forward and aft) and refer to the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. Given the forward draft of 23'-03" and the aft draft of 27'-01", we can find the corresponding displacement in the reference book for a fresh water environment. The displacement value corresponding to these drafts is 12,900 tons, making B the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the displacement value found in the reference book based on the provided drafts.
