Drafts

When displacement is constant (for box shapes):


When draft is constant:


Homogeneous log:


Variable immersion hydrometer:


Trim


Effect of trim on tank soundings:


True mean draft:


To keep the draft aft constant:


To find GM L:


Simpson s rules

1st rule:


2nd rule:


3rd rule:


KB and BM

Transverse stability

For rectangular waterplanes:


For box shapes:


For triangular prisms:


Longitudinal stability

For rectangular waterplanes:


For box shapes:


For triangular prisms:


Transverse statical stability

Moment of statical stability = W GZ

At small angles of heel:


By wall-sided formula:


By Attwood s formula:


Stability curves:


  • W = ship displacement in tonnes

  • GG H = horiz movement of G

  • GG V = vert movement of G

  • ? o = righting arm @ ? = 0 (if upright ship)

  • ? 40 = righting arm @ ? = 40 Z

  • HM = heeling moment

  • SF = stowage factor

  • VHM = volumetric heeling moment

List


Increase in draft due to list:

  • New draft = 1/2 b sin ? + (d) cos ? Rise of floor is zero put r in if rise of floor exists. (measured at full Br. Mld)
