70% to pass

A vessel's drafts are FWD 19'-02", AFT 23'-10". Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final drafts if 98 tons of fuel is pumped 116 feet forward.

A FWD 19'-04", AFT 23'-06"
B FWD 19'-07", AFT 23'-04"
C FWD 19'-09", AFT 23'-01"
D FWD 19'-09", AFT 23'-06"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) FWD 19'-07", AFT 23'-04". To determine the final drafts, we need to calculate the change in drafts due to the fuel being pumped forward. Based on the information provided, pumping 98 tons of fuel 116 feet forward will cause the vessel's forward draft to increase and the aft draft to decrease. Using the Stability Data Reference Book, we can calculate the change in drafts. The correct final drafts are FWD 19'-07" and AFT 23'-04", as this accounts for the change in weight distribution from pumping the fuel forward. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the change in drafts caused by the fuel movement.
