The SS AMERICAN MARINER arrived in port with drafts of: FWD 28'-04", AFT 31'-10". Cargo was loaded and discharged as indicated in table ST-0007 below. Use sheet 2 in the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final drafts.

Correct Answer: Option B — FWD 29'-08", AFT 30'-09"

Assessing cargo operations specified in table ST-0007 requires computing shifts in longitudinal center of gravity and applying corresponding trim changes. Hydrostatic corrections produce accurate final arrival drafts of FWD 29'-08" and AFT 30'-09".
