Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the minimum GM required to meet a one compartment standard.

A 1.80 feet
B 2.05 feet
C 1.98 feet
D 1.89 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 2.05 feet. To determine the minimum GM required to meet a one compartment standard, you need to use the information provided about the ship's drafts and the loading/bunkering data. The Stability Data Reference Book's white pages provide the necessary calculations to find the minimum GM. With the given drafts of FWD 09'-00" and AFT 15'-11.5", and the loading/bunkering details, the calculation indicates that the minimum GM required to meet the one compartment standard is 2.05 feet. The other answer choices are incorrect as they do not represent the minimum GM needed based on the provided information.
