The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to load the cargo listed in table ST-0028 below. There is already 3315 tons of cargo on board with a KG of 27.0 feet. Use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading is completed.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Using the Stability Data Reference Book white pages for SS AMERICAN MARINER to find each stowage location’s vertical center of gravity (KG) • Calculating moments for added cargo: weight × KG for each compartment and deck listed in the table • Combining existing ship’s condition (displacement and KG) with added cargo using the final KG formula

💭 Think About

• How do you use the KG values from the white pages for each specific hold/deck (e.g., No. 3 Tank Top, No. 5 Upper Reefer) to get a total moment for all new cargo? • Once you know the ship already has 3315 tons at KG 27.0 ft, how do you express that condition as a moment and combine it with the moments from the new cargo? • After you get the total final displacement, what does dividing the total moment by this displacement tell you about the ship’s overall KG, and how should that compare with the answer choices (higher, lower, or similar to 27.0 ft)?

✅ Before You Answer

• From the white pages, verify you are using the correct KG for each exact location and deck listed (e.g., No. 5 Third Deck vs. No. 5 Third Deck Reefer). • Confirm you have the correct total weight of all added cargo by summing every entry in the table before doing any KG calculations. • Before choosing an answer, check that you computed: Final KG = (Existing moment + Sum of added cargo moments) ÷ (Existing weight + Added cargo weight) and that the result is reasonable compared to 27.0 ft.
