Question 2586Deck Safety70% to pass
The SS AMERICAN MARINER is loaded with the cargo shown in table ST-0146 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks to meet a one compartment standard.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 1545 tons.
To meet a one compartment standard, the vessel must have enough stability to withstand the flooding of any single compartment. Using the data from table ST-0146 and the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks to achieve this is 1545 tons.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not provide the full amount of liquid loading needed to meet the one compartment standard. Choosing a lower amount would result in insufficient stability in the event of a single compartment flooding.
