The SS AMERICAN MARINER is loaded with the cargo shown in table ST-0005 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 C) 158 tons.
The Stability Data Reference Book provides guidelines for determining the liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks to meet a one compartment standard. Based on the cargo loading information provided in table ST-0005, the calculations using the white pages of the reference book would indicate that 158 tons of liquid loading in the double bottom tanks is required to meet the one compartment standard.
The other answer choices are incorrect because 174 tons (A) and 189 tons (B) do not match the calculated requirement of 158 tons, and option D) "No loading required" is incorrect as some liquid loading is necessary to meet the stability standard.
