70% to pass

The SS AMERICAN MARINER is loaded with the cargo shown in table ST-0062 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks to meet a one compartment standard.

A 1171.5 tons
B 1311.0 tons
C 1503.0 tons
D 1710.5 tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 1171.5 tons. To determine the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks, the stability information for the SS AMERICAN MARINER must be referenced in the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. This reference provides the necessary data to calculate the required liquid loading to meet a one compartment standard, which is the minimum amount of liquid needed in the tanks to ensure the vessel maintains adequate stability in the event of a single compartment flooding. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the proper liquid loading requirement based on the given cargo information and the stability data for the SS AMERICAN MARINER.
