- Q104 - Deck Safety: Stability Problems
222. The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to bunker with drafts of FWD 13'-10″, AFT 16'-04″. After all bunkers are on board, soundings indicate the tonnages shown in table ST-0179 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the free surface correction.
The free surface correction is calculated by dividing the sum of the free surface moments of all slack bunker tanks by the ship's displacement at the observed drafts. Using the Stability Data Reference Book, this calculation yields a free surface correction of 1.01 foot.
