The SS AMERICAN MARINER arrived in port with drafts of: FWD 29'-06", AFT 29'-02". Cargo was loaded and discharged as indicated in table ST-0110 below. Use sheet 2 in the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final drafts.

A FWD 29'-03", AFT 30'-00"
B FWD 29'-05", AFT 29'-10"
C FWD 29'-01", AFT 30'-02"
D FWD 29'-07", AFT 29'-08"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) FWD 29'-03", AFT 30'-00". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the Stability Data Reference Book and the information provided in the table ST-0110 about the cargo loaded and discharged. Based on the initial drafts and the cargo changes, the final drafts can be calculated using the formulas and information in the Stability Data Reference Book. Option A correctly shows the final drafts, with the forward draft at 29'-03" and the aft draft at 30'-00". The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final drafts based on the given information and the calculations using the Stability Data Reference Book.
