Question 2691 Deck Safety
70% to passThe SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to load the cargo listed in table ST-0035 below. There is already 3224 tons of cargo on board with a KG of 29.8 feet. Use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading is completed.
The correct answer is D) KG 29.0 feet. To determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading, you need to use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to calculate the new KG based on the existing cargo and the additional cargo listed in table ST-0035. The key is to calculate the weighted average of the KG values, taking into account the weights of the existing and new cargo. This will result in a final KG of 29.0 feet, which is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the accurate final KG calculated using the provided information and the Stability Data Reference Book.
