Question 1 of 2066636eec28f7522a1c51cb9a

The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the following drafts: FWD 08'-11.5", AFT 15'- 11.5". Upon completion of loading and bunkering the items shown in table ST-0147 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.

🔍 Key Concepts

• One compartment standard from the Stability Data Reference Book for SS AMERICAN MARINER • How to use drafts (FWD 08'-11.5", AFT 15'-11.5") to find displacement and LCF/LCB on the hydrostatic tables • How the required minimum GM is read from the damage-stability (one-compartment) curves for the vessel’s actual displacement

💭 Think About

• From the given drafts, what is the ship’s displacement, and where do you find that value in the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book? • Once you know the displacement, which specific one-compartment curve applies, and how do you read the required GM from that curve? • How does the final loading condition (stores, fuel, cargo, etc.) confirm that the drafts given are consistent with the displacement you use?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using the correct draft condition (mean draft from the given FWD and AFT drafts) when entering the hydrostatic tables. • Confirm that you are on the one-compartment standard page for the AMERICAN MARINER, not the two-compartment or grain stability pages. • Verify that you are reading the required GM for the exact or nearest displacement line on the damage-stability curve and not confusing it with GM actual.
