Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #2247 (Set 69)

Your vessel's drafts are FWD 20'-09", AFT 21'-01". Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final drafts if: (1) 320 tons are loaded 47 feet forward of amidships; (2) 82 tons are discharged 110 feet forward of amidships; and (3) 50 tons of fuel are pumped 60 feet forward.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — FWD 21'-06", AFT 21'-02"

Applying parallel rise and trim corrections from the stability data reference book for multiple cargo and ballast operations yields final drafts of FWD 21'-06" and AFT 21'-02".
