The SS AMERICAN MARINER is loaded with the cargo shown in table ST-0073 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 D — 1710.5 tons

Evaluating table ST-0073 in the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book involves analyzing displacement and center of gravity shifts. To satisfy 46 CFR intact and damaged stability criteria for a one-compartment standard, the calculation directs a total liquid loading of 1710.5 tons in the double bottom tanks.
