Function: Controlling The Operation of The Ship & Care For Persons On Board at Operational Level

The document contains an examination for a Marine Engineer Officer Class IV. It covers topics related to ship construction and stability. The exam contains 10 questions across two sections. Section 1 focuses on fire safety measures on passenger ships, hull protection against corrosion, and differences in construction between conventional and double hull tankers. Section 2 covers topics like calculating changes in a ship's center of gravity based on fuel transfers, calculating displacement and draught, and problems involving ship speed and fuel consumption. Candidates are instructed to answer 6 questions total, with at least 2 from each section.

EXAMINATION OF MARINE ENGINEER OFFICER


Function: Controlling the Operation of The Ship & Care for Persons on Board at
Operational Level
SHIP CONSTRUCTION AND STABILITY

M.E.O. Class IV
(Time allowed - 3hours)
India (2004) Afternoon Paper Total Marks 100

NB : (1) Answer SIX Questions :


SECTION -1 :- Answer atleast TWO Questions
SECTION -2 :- Answer atleast TWO Questions
(2) All Questions carry equal marks
(3) Neatness in handwriting and clarity in expression carries weightage
(4) Illustration of an Answer with clear sketches / diagrams carries weightage.

SECTION - 1

1. With reference to passenger ships discuss the following basic principles adopted as fire safety
measures:
(a) Separation of accommodation spaces from the remainder of the ship by thermal and structural
boundaries.
(b) Protection of means of escape.

2. With reference to hull protection against corrosion describe how EACH of the following operate:
(a) Sacrificial anodes;
(b) Impressed current system.

3. With regard to the carriage of crude oil and its associated products, state a few differences in the
constructional features of a conventional tanker and a double hull tanks.

4. "GM" cannot be used as an indicator of stability at all angles of inclination because ______________.
(a) "M" is not fixed at large angles
(b) there is no "M" at large angles
(c) "G" is not fixed at large angles
(d) there is no "G" at large angles
Briefly justify your answer

5. The maximum draft to which a vessel can legally be submerged is indicated by the _____________.
(a) Load Line mark
(b) Certificate of Inspection
(c) Plimsoll line
(d) Tonnage mark
Briefly justify your answer
SECTION - 2

6. An oil tanker of 17000 tonne displacement has its centre of gravity 1 m aft of midships and has 250
tonne of oil fuel in its forward deep tank 75 m from midships. This fuel is transferred to the after oil
fuel bunker whose centre is 50 m from midships. 200 tonne of fuel from the after bunker is now
burned.
Calculate the new position of the centre of gravity:
(a) after the oil has been transferred,
(b) after the oil has been used.

7. The waterplane area of a ship at 8.40 m draught is 1670 m 2. The areas of successive waterplanes at
1.40 m intervals below this are 1600, 1540, 1420, 1270, 1080 and 690 m 2 respectively. Calculate the
displacement in fresh water at 8.40 m draught and the draught at which the ship would be in
seawater with the same displacement.

8. Before bunkering in harbour the draught of a vessel of 12000 tonne displacement is 8.16 m, the
water plane area being 1625 m2. After loading 1650 tonne of fuel and entering sea water of 1.024
t/m , the draught is 9.08 m. Assuming that the water plane area remains constant and neglecting any
fuel etc. expended in moving the vessel, calculate the density of the harbour water.

9. The pitch of a ship’s propeller is 6m. At 105 rev/minimum the apparent slip is 10% and the real slip
is 24%. Calculate the slip and the wake fraction.

10. The fuel consumption of a ship at 13 knots is 30 tonne per day. The consumption varies as
(speed)3.346 for a speed range of 11 to 13 knots and as (speed)3.468 for a speed range of 13 to 15
knots. The vessel travels at 11 knots for 10 hours and at 15 knots for 14 hours. Calculate the
percentage change in fuel consumption compared with travelling at a constant speed of 13 knots.
