Question 2607 Deck Safety

70% to pass

The SS AMERICAN MARINER is loaded with the cargo shown in table ST-0073 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 D) 1710.5 tons. To meet the one compartment standard, the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks is 1710.5 tons. This is determined by using the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, which provide the necessary information and calculations to find the required liquid loading. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the appropriate amount of liquid loading needed to meet the one compartment standard for the given cargo loading scenario on the SS AMERICAN MARINER. The Stability Data Reference Book provides the authoritative guidance on these types of calculations for Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations.
