The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the following drafts: FWD 09'-00", AFT 15'- 11.5". Upon completion of loading and bunkering the items shown in table ST-0026 below will be on board. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the minimum GM required to meet a one compartment standard.

A 2.38 feet
B 2.27 feet
C 2.49 feet
D 2.05 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 2.38 feet. To determine the minimum GM (Metacentric Height) required to meet a one compartment standard, you need to use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the given draft information (FWD 09'-00", AFT 15'-11.5") and the loading details provided in table ST-0026, the minimum GM required is 2.38 feet to meet the one compartment standard. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the minimum GM requirement for the given vessel and loading conditions as per the stability data reference.
