Question 2606 Deck Safety
70% to passThe SS AMERICAN MARINER has the following drafts: FWD 09'-10", AFT 15'-08". Upon completion of loading and bunkering the items shown in table ST-0041 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
1.91 feet
B
2.09 feet
C
2.21 feet
D
2.48 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 2.21 feet. The minimum GM (metacentric height) required to meet a one compartment standard is determined using the stability data and formulas provided in the Stability Data Reference Book. Given the vessel's drafts and the loading condition, the stability calculations would yield a minimum required GM of 2.21 feet to satisfy the one compartment standard. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the minimum GM requirement for the vessel's specific loading condition based on the information provided.
