The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0133 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the KG of the liquid load.

Correct Answer: Option C — 4.9 feet

Extracting vertical center of gravity values for liquid loads requires referencing the tank capacities and sounding tables in The Stability Data Reference Book. Cross-referencing the sounding and specific gravity for table ST-0133 yields a vertical center of gravity (KG) of 4.9 feet.
