The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the following drafts: FWD 09'-00", AFT 15'-11". Upon completion of loading and bunkering the items shown in table ST-0032 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) 2.82 feet.
To determine the minimum GM (Metacentric Height) required to meet a one compartment standard, we need to use the information provided about the ship's drafts and the contents of the Stability Data Reference Book.
The Stability Data Reference Book provides guidelines and formulas to calculate the minimum GM based on the ship's characteristics and loading conditions. Given the draft information, we can use the procedures outlined in the book to calculate the minimum GM required to meet the one compartment standard, which is 2.82 feet.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value calculated using the Stability Data Reference Book guidelines and the provided information.
