The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to sail with the load shown in table ST-0184 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the available GM.

Correct Answer: Option C — Available GM 3.5 ft

Reference table ST-0184 provides specific deadweight and vertical moment distributions. Combining these values with lightship particulars and applying free surface corrections from standard reference tables yields a final calculated available GM of 3.5 feet.
