Question 2694 Deck Safety
70% to passThe SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to load the cargo listed in table ST-0130 below. There is already 4260 tons of cargo on board with a KG of 25.8 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 25.9 feet. To determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading, you need to use the stability data from the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. The KG of 25.9 feet is the correct answer because it takes into account the 4260 tons of cargo already on board with a KG of 25.8 feet, as well as the additional cargo listed in table ST-0130. The stability calculations using the reference book data would show that the final KG of all the cargo is 25.9 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final KG after considering the existing cargo and the additional cargo to be loaded.
