Question 2425 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 12,900 tons. To determine the vessel's displacement in fresh water, we can use the information provided about the drafts (forward and aft) and refer to the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. Given the forward draft of 23'-03" and the aft draft of 27'-01", we can find the corresponding displacement in the reference book for a fresh water environment. The displacement value corresponding to these drafts is 12,900 tons, making B the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the displacement value found in the reference book based on the provided drafts.
