The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to bunker with drafts of FWD 19'-00", AFT 24'-00". After all bunkers are on board, soundings indicate the tonnages shown in table ST-0171 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the free surface correction.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 0.85 foot.
To determine the free surface correction, we need to use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the given drafts of FWD 19'-00" and AFT 24'-00", and the tonnages shown in the table ST-0171, we can find the free surface correction of 0.85 foot.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value provided in the stability data reference book for the given conditions.
