You are scheduled to load 4700 tons of cargo, 45 tons of crew effects and stores and 323 tons of fuel. Use the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the vessel's mean draft in fresh water.

Correct Answer: Option B — 19'-07"

Accounting for fresh water density differences, the total deadweight of cargo, stores, and fuel referenced against the fresh water scale in the stability book blue pages determines the resulting mean draft of 19'-07".
