Question 2561 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) Available GM 3.8 ft. To determine the available GM (Metacentric Height), you need to use the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book. By looking up the load condition in table ST-0185 and using the white pages, you can find the corresponding GM value, which is 3.8 ft. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the GM value shown in the reference book for the given load condition. Choosing the correct GM value from the reference book is crucial for ensuring the vessel's stability and safety during the voyage.
