- Q104 - Deck Safety: Stability Problems
406. A vessel's drafts are FWD 23'-01″, AFT 24'-11″. Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final drafts if: (1) 142 tons are discharged 122 feet forward of amidships; (2) 321 tons are loaded 82 feet forward of amidships; and (3) 74 tons are discharged 62 feet aft of amidships.
The correct answer is determined by calculating the net weight change and resulting trimming moment. A net addition of 105 tons increases the mean draft and creates a bow-down trimming moment, leading to a final draft of FWD 23'-09″, AFT 24'-05″.
