The SS AMERICAN MARINER is loaded with the cargo shown in table ST-0143 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 B) 1126 tons.
To determine the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks, we need to use the stability data reference book and meet the one-compartment standard. The one-compartment standard requires the vessel to float with one compartment flooded without exceeding the maximum allowable draft.
Based on the cargo information provided in table ST-0143, the stability data reference book indicates that 1126 tons of liquid loading in the double bottom tanks is required to meet the one-compartment standard for the SS AMERICAN MARINER. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the appropriate amount of liquid loading needed to satisfy the stability requirements.
