🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the white pages tank tables for SS AMERICAN MARINER to find each tank’s weight and KG (VCG) at the condition shown in ST-0142. • To find the overall KG of the liquid load, use the combined-weight formula: Total KG = (Σ(W × KG)) ÷ ΣW. • Pay close attention to tanks marked P/S and paired port/starboard tanks to see whether the listed values are per side or for both sides together.

💭 Think About

• From table ST-0142, what information does each number represent for a tank, and what additional data do you still need from the white pages to compute KG? • Once you have each tank’s weight and KG, how do you combine them into a single equivalent weight acting at one vertical position? • How will you handle tanks that appear as pairs (P and S) or as P/S in the stability book tables when summing weights and moments?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm from the white pages the exact KG (VCG) and weight for each tank listed in ST-0142 at the specified loading condition. • Make sure you correctly interpret P, S, CL, and P/S entries (port, starboard, centerline, and combined) before adding weights and moments. • After summing all weights and all vertical moments (W × KG), compute KG = Total Moment ÷ Total Weight and check that the result is in feet above the baseline.
