The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to sail with the load shown in table ST-0192 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the available GM.

Correct Answer: Option D — Available GM 5.5 ft

Cross-referencing table ST-0192 loading data with hydrostatic curves in The Stability Data Reference Book computes the vessel's lightweight, deadweight moments, and free surface effects, confirming an available metacentric height (GM) of 5.5 feet.
