The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0098 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the LCG-FP of the liquid load.

Correct Answer: Option C — 268.1 ft

Longitudinal center of gravity from forward perpendicular (LCG-FP) calculations utilize hydrostatic and tank capacity tables. Entering table ST-0098 with specific tank soundings yields a longitudinal moment position resulting in an LCG-FP of 268.1 feet.
