Question 1264 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 52.79 numeral. To determine the hogging numeral, you need to use the salmon colored pages in the Stability Data Reference Book which provide the hogging moment and shear data for the vessel. By looking up the vessel's loading condition in the provided table BL-0024, you can find the corresponding hogging numeral of 52.79. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the hogging numeral value provided in the Stability Data Reference Book for the given loading condition. The regulations require using the reference data to accurately determine the hogging numeral based on the vessel's loading.
