Question 2335 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) 980 foot-tons. To determine the MT1 (Moment to Trim 1 inch) value, we need to use the Stability Data Reference Book and the given draft measurements of FWD 16'-02" and AFT 20'-08". Based on these draft readings, the MT1 value can be found in the blue pages of the reference book, which provide stability data for typical vessel configurations. The MT1 value corresponding to the given draft measurements is 980 foot-tons. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the MT1 value found in the reference book for the provided draft measurements.
