🔍 Key Concepts

• Mean draft calculation using forward and aft drafts • Use of Stability Data Reference Book blue pages for displacement vs. draft in fresh water • Difference between salt water vs. fresh water displacement tables

💭 Think About

• How do you find the mean draft when you know the forward and aft drafts, and why is mean draft important for using displacement tables? • Once you have the mean draft, where in the blue pages would you look to relate that draft to the vessel’s displacement in fresh water? • If the exact draft is between two tabulated values, how should you handle that when choosing among the multiple‑choice answers?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the fresh water displacement table, not salt water • Carefully compute the mean draft from the given forward and aft drafts, keeping the inches-to-decimal conversion straight • Check whether interpolation between two draft entries is needed, and whether the closest value matches one of the options
