The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the following drafts: FWD 08'-11.5", AFT 15'- 11.5". Upon completion of loading and bunkering the items shown in table ST-0147 below will be on board. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the minimum GM required to meet a one compartment standard.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 2.45 feet.
To determine the minimum GM required, we need to use the stability data from the reference book and the given vessel's drafts. With the forward draft of 8'-11.5" and the aft draft of 15'-11.5", the vessel's displacement and other stability characteristics can be obtained from the stability data. Based on this information, the stability reference book would indicate that the minimum GM required to meet a one-compartment standard is 2.45 feet.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the minimum GM requirement for the given vessel and loading condition based on the stability data.
