Question 2612Deck Safety70% to pass
The SS AMERICAN MARINER is loaded with the cargo shown in table ST-0124 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) 1263 tons.
To meet the one compartment standard, the vessel must have sufficient liquid loading in the double bottom tanks to offset the loss of buoyancy in the event of a single compartment flooding. Using the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, the amount of liquid loading required is 1263 tons.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not provide the full amount of liquid loading necessary to meet the one compartment standard. Option A (444 tons) and B (644 tons) are too low, while option C (1044 tons) is also insufficient to offset the loss of buoyancy in a single compartment flooding scenario.
