The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0118 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the LCG-FP of the liquid load.

Correct Answer: Option D — 307.2 ft

Longitudinal center of gravity calculations for specific tank loading conditions are derived using hydrostatic particulars in The Stability Data Reference Book. Table ST-0118 references soundings that compute directly to an LCG-FP of 307.2 feet.
