The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0150 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the LCG-FP of the liquid load.

Correct Answer: Option A — 228.8 ft

Longitudinal center of gravity evaluation from forward perpendicular uses ship-specific tank capacity tables. Proper interpolation of table ST-0150 within The Stability Data Reference Book establishes the exact liquid load LCG-FP at 228.8 feet.
