The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the following drafts: FWD 8'-04", AFT 15'-08". Upon completion of loading and bunkering the items shown in table ST-0047 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 initial drafts (FWD and AFT) to find the ship’s displacement in the Stability Data Reference Book white pages for the SS AMERICAN MARINER. • From the same white pages, find the one-compartment standard GM requirement table for the final loaded condition (displacement after adding all listed weights). • Remember that the one-compartment standard GM requirement is based on displacement, not on the actual GM you may calculate from KG or GZ curves.

💭 Think About

• From the given drafts, what is the ship’s displacement before loading the listed weights, according to the hydrostatic data for the SS AMERICAN MARINER? • After adding all the weights from table ST-0047, what is the final displacement, and which row/column in the one-compartment GM requirement table does that correspond to? • Does the one-compartment standard table give you a minimum required GM directly once you know the correct displacement range?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully sum all weights in the loading table (stores, lube oil, cargo, fuel oil, fresh water, ballast) to get the total added weight. • Use the correct ship (SS AMERICAN MARINER) and the correct draft/trim entry in the hydrostatic tables so the displacement you read matches the starting drafts given. • Make sure you are using the one-compartment standard GM requirement table, not a damage curve or intact-stability GZ curve, and read the minimum GM corresponding to your final displacement.
