Question 1 of 27070

Your drafts are: FWD 23'-03", AFT 24'-01". Use the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the vessels displacement if you are in fresh water.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Mean draft and how to calculate it from forward and aft drafts • Using the Stability Data Reference Book blue pages to find displacement from a given draft • Effect of fresh water vs. salt water on displacement and when/if you must apply a correction

💭 Think About

• First, compute the vessel’s mean draft from the given forward and aft drafts. What is the formula? • Once you have mean draft, how do you locate the corresponding displacement value in the blue pages table? Will you need to interpolate between two drafts? • Consider whether the blue pages displacement values are based on salt water or fresh water. If they are for salt water, what correction is needed for fresh water?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify your mean draft calculation is correct (use feet and inches carefully). • Confirm whether the table you are using in the blue pages is labeled for salt water or already adjusted for fresh water. • Before selecting an answer, check that your final displacement is consistent with the trend in the table: does displacement increase or decrease with increasing draft, and is your value in the right range?
