Question 1 of 2066636eec28f7522a1c51cba2

The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the following drafts: FWD 09'-00", AFT 15'- 11.5". Upon completion of loading and bunkering the items shown in table ST-0025 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

• Use the forward and aft drafts to find the ship’s mean draft and then the corresponding displacement in the SS AMERICAN MARINER hydrostatic tables (white pages). • From the stability data, locate the "Minimum GM for One-Compartment Standard" (sometimes shown as a curve or table versus displacement or draft). • Remember that the required GM is taken from the limiting GM curve, not from your calculated GM from the load (you only need the minimum required value).

💭 Think About

• What is the mean draft for the given loading condition, and what displacement does the hydrostatic data give at that mean draft? • Once you know the displacement/draft, which specific one-compartment standard curve or table in the white pages applies to this loading condition? • When you read the minimum GM from the curve/table, do you need to interpolate between two values to get a more accurate number that will match one of the choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the correct page and curve for the one-compartment standard (not two-compartment or other damage criteria). • Verify that the draft/displacement you use matches the condition after all items in table ST-0025 are aboard (check units: long tons vs metric tons if shown). • Make sure the GM value you select is the minimum required from the curve, and that you read it in feet, not meters, before comparing to the answer choices.
