Question 2619Deck Safety70% to pass
The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the following drafts: FWD 09'-00", AFT 15'- 11.5". Upon completion of loading and bunkering the items shown in table ST-0033 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 A) 1.82 feet.
To determine the minimum GM (Metacentric Height) required to meet a one compartment standard, you need to use the stability data provided in the table and the draft information given. The GM required is dependent on the vessel's draft, displacement, and other stability characteristics. Based on the provided information and using the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, the minimum GM required to meet the one compartment standard is 1.82 feet.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the minimum GM required for the given vessel and loading condition. Option B (1.96 feet), C (2.17 feet), and D (2.05 feet) are not the correct values derived from the stability data and calculations.
