The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to sail with the load shown in table ST-0059 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the available GM.

Correct Answer: Option B — Available GM 3.9 ft

Vessel stability calculations for loading condition ST-0059 require extracting displacement and KG data from white pages in The Stability Data Reference Book. Factoring in deadweight items and free surface moments produces an established available GM of 3.9 feet.
