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) 2.97 feet.
To determine the minimum GM (Metacentric Height) required to meet a one compartment standard, you need to use the information provided about the ship's drafts and the contents of the ST-0029 table. The Stability Data Reference Book's white pages provide the necessary calculations to find the minimum GM.
The given drafts of FWD 09'-00" and AFT 15'-11" indicate the vessel's condition, and the ST-0029 table lists the items on board. Using this information, the Stability Data Reference Book can be consulted to calculate the minimum GM required to meet the one compartment standard, which is 2.97 feet.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the minimum GM required based on the provided information.
