Ship Stability for Masters and Mates, Sixth edition – Consolidated 2006

[*]See Note at end of the Appendix
When displacement is constant (for box shapes):
When draft is constant:
Homogeneous log:
Variable immersion hydrometer:
Effect of trim on tank soundings:
True mean draft:
To keep the draft aft constant:
To find GM L:
1st rule:
2nd rule:
3rd rule:
For rectangular waterplanes:
For box shapes:
For triangular prisms:
For rectangular waterplanes:
For box shapes:
For triangular prisms:
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
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)
Inclining experiment:
