AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) FWD 19'-05", AFT 19'-08". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the given information about the initial drafts and the cargo loaded/discharged as indicated in the table ST-0152. By referring to the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book, sheet 2, we can calculate the final drafts based on the changes in the vessel's weight and the corresponding change in draft. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final drafts calculated using the provided information and the Stability Data Reference Book.
