Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 18'-09", AFT 19'-01". How much more cargo can be loaded to have the vessel down to the freeboard draft? (Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

Correct Answer: Option C — 5649 tons

Determining available deadweight to maximum freeboard draft requires extracting displacement values from the Stability Data Reference Book's hydrostatic tables for initial and maximum allowable drafts, subtracting initial displacement from full-load displacement, and accounting for existing on-board consumables per standard stability calculation procedures.
