The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the following drafts: FWD 08'-11.5", AFT 15'- 11.5". Upon completion of loading and bunkering the items shown in table ST-0138 below will be on board. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the minimum GM required to meet a one compartment standard.

Correct Answer: Option C — 2.05 feet

With initial drafts of FWD 08'-11.5" and AFT 15'-11.5" plus table ST-0138 loading, calculate the final displacement and permeability. Entering the SS AMERICAN MARINER subdivision standards in the Stability Data Reference Book determines the minimum required GM of 2.05 feet.
