The SS AMERICAN MARINER is loaded with the cargo shown in table ST-0143 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks to meet a one compartment standard.

Correct Answer: Option B — 1126 tons

Assessing the specific gravity and vertical moment of the cargo distribution outlined in table ST-0143 dictates the necessary compensatory ballast. Entering the reference book's subdivision tables identifies a total double bottom tank liquid loading of 1126 tons to satisfy one-compartment damage stability.
