The SS AMERICAN MARINER is loaded with the cargo shown in table ST-0128 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 — 895 tons

Cross-referencing table ST-0128 in the Stability Data Reference Book demands matching cargo distribution with compartment floodability limits. Applying these stability principles for a one-compartment damage standard establishes a required liquid loading weight of exactly 895 tons within the double bottom tanks.
