The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0142 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the KG of the liquid load.

Correct Answer: Option D — 4.3 feet

Tank calibration tables in the vessel's Stability Data Reference Book provide vertical centers for specific liquid quantities. Cross-referencing table ST-0142 gives the exact vertical moment components, resulting in a calculated liquid load KG of 4.3 feet.
