Question 2552 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) Available GM 3.9 ft. To determine the available GM, you need to use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, which provide stability data for various vessels. By inputting the load conditions shown in table ST-0069, you can look up the corresponding GM value, which is 3.9 ft. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the GM value provided in the reference book for the given load conditions. Knowing how to properly use stability data references is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of a vessel.
