    This document discusses ship stability concepts including: 1. Trim is defined as the difference between the forward and aft drafts. The moment to change trim by 1 cm and the longitudinal center of buoyancy are also defined. 2. Calculations are shown to determine the loaded condition longitudinal center of gravity (LCG) of 66.917m using ship weights and moments. 3. Additional calculations using hydrostatic tables determine the change in trim, drafts, and final drafts of 4.883m forward and 7.418m aft from an initial condition.

    Q1

    1. (a)(i) Trim

     Definition: The difference between the Forward and After


    Draughts measured in metres.

    (ii) Moment to Change the Trim by one Centimetre (MCTC)

     Definition: The moment required to change the vessels trim by


    one centimetre at that draught.

    (iii) Longitudinal Centre of Buoyancy

     Definition: Is the point longitudinally, where all the upthrusts due


    to buoyancy may be considered to act vertically upwards.

    (iv) Longitudinal Centre of Floatation

     Definition: The LCF is the point about which the vessel trims and
    it is sometimes called the “tipping centre”. The LCF is the
    geometric centre of the waterplane area (at that draught).

    (b) To Calculate LCG by Taking Moments about the After Perpendicular

    Weights (m) LCG (m) Moments about the AP (tm)


    Loaded Discharged Loaded Discharged
    12 748  0 69.2 882162.00  -
    300 132.0 - 39600.00
    300  0 35.0 10500.00  -
    13048 300   892662.00 39600.00
    -300     -39600.00  
    12748     853062.00  

    LCG = Σ Moments about the AP = 853062 = 66.917m foap


    Σ Weights 12748

    From Hydrostatic Tables using ∆ of 12748 tonnes

    EK draught 6.100 m
    MCTC 172.5
    LCB (foap) 70.35 m
    LCF (foap) 68.20 m
    + LCG (foap) 66.917m

    LCB = 70.35m
    B
    AP 70.93m G
    LCG = 66.917m FP

    CF

    LCF = la = 68.20m
    lf = (142 – 68.20) = 73.80m

    LBP = L = 142m

    To Calculate the Change of Trim

    CoT = ∆ x (LCB ~ LCG) = 12748 x (70.35 ~ 66.917)


    MCTC 172.5

    = 253.5 cms = 2.535 m by the stern

    To Calculate the Change of Draught due to Change of Trim

    CoDf due to CoT = CoT x LBP – LCF = 2.535 x (142 – 68.20) = - 1.317m
    LBP 142

    CoDa due to CoT = CoT x LCF = 2.535 x 68.20 = + 1.218m


    LBP 142
    check 2.535m 
    To find the Final Draughts

    Fwd Aft
    EK draughts 6.100 6.100m
    CoD due to CoT - 1.317m + 1.218m
    Final draughts 4.883m 7.418m

    The final draughts are: FWD 4.88 m


    AFT 7.42 m

    Q2

    (a) (i) Initial Metacentric Height (GM)

     Definition: It is the distance measured along the centreline


    between G and M in the initial upright position.

    (ii) Centre of Buoyancy (B).

     Definition: Centre of Buoyancy is the point in a floating body


    through which the force of buoyancy is considered to act
    vertically upwards.

    It is situated at the geometric centre of the underwater volume. It's


    position is denoted by 'B' and it's height above the keel (K) is denoted
    KB.

    (b) From GZ Curve

    (i) Range of Stability 0º - 72º (72º)


    (ii) Maximum GZ 1.34m
    (iii) Angle of Maximum GZ 45.5º
    (iv) Angle of Vanishing Stability 72º
    (v) Initial GM 1.10m
    (vi) Angle of Deck Edge Immersion 23º

    (c) KM 10.77 m
    KG 9.78 m
    GM 0.99 m

    MSS = ∆ x GZ

    = ∆ x GM Sin θ

    = 12 456 x 099 x Sin 7º

    MSS = 1 502.8 tm

    The Moment of Statical Stability is 1 502.8 tonne metres
