Question 2358 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) FWD 18'-07", AFT 20'-11". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0114 to calculate the change in drafts based on the cargo loading/unloading. The key is to use the Stability Data Reference Book, specifically Sheet 2 in the white pages, which provides a table to determine the draft changes. Given the initial drafts of FWD 18'-05" and AFT 20'-11", and the cargo changes, the final drafts can be calculated using the table on Sheet 2. The correct answer of FWD 18'-07" and AFT 20'-11" reflects the changes in draft based on the cargo operations. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final drafts based on the initial conditions and the cargo changes provided in the problem.
