Question 2584 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) 595 tons. To determine the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks to meet a one compartment standard, you need to use the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the cargo information in table ST-0126, the vessel has a one compartment standard, which means that it must be able to withstand the flooding of any one compartment. The Stability Data Reference Book provides the necessary information to calculate the amount of liquid loading required to meet this standard, which in this case is 595 tons. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the correct amount of liquid loading required to meet the one compartment standard, as determined by the Stability Data Reference Book.
