Question 2620Deck Safety70% to pass
The SS AMERICAN MARINER is loaded with the cargo shown in table ST-0011 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 B) 696 tons.
To determine the liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks to meet a one compartment standard, we need to use the stability information provided in The Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the cargo information in table ST-0011, the vessel's stability must be checked to ensure it can withstand the flooding of any one compartment. The amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks is the value that satisfies this one compartment standard.
The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the appropriate liquid loading required to meet the one compartment standard, as determined by the stability data and calculations.
