The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to load the cargo listed in table ST-0135 below. There is already 6280 tons of cargo on board with a KG of 25.5 feet. Use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading is completed.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) KG 26.0 feet.
To determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading, you need to use the stability data in the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. By inputting the existing cargo information (6280 tons at KG 25.5 feet) and the new cargo listed in table ST-0135, the final KG of all the cargo can be calculated to be 26.0 feet. This is the correct answer based on the stability principles and calculations provided in the reference material.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the final KG value determined from the stability data. Without the detailed calculations, those other KG values would not be the accurate result for the given loading condition.
