 Lifeboat

1.  Shipboard lifeboat, kept on board a vessel and used to take crew and passengers to safety in the event of the ship
being abandoned.

2.  Rescue lifeboat, usually launched from shore, used to rescue people from the water or from vessels in difficulty.

List

A vessel's angle of lean or tilt to one side, in the direction called roll. Typically refers to a lean caused by flooding or
improperly loaded or shifted cargo (as opposed to 'heeling', which see).
Term: list (n)
Definition: The extent of leaning to one side of a ship that is damaged or loaded improperly.

Term: list (v)

Definition: To lean to one side because of improper loading or damage to the hull.
Term: lifeboat (n)
Definition: A small sturdy boat launched from shipboard or the beach to save passengers in the event of shipwreck.

An inclining test is a test performed on a ship to determine its stability, lightship weight and the coordinates of its center of gravity.
The test is applied to newly constructed ships greater than 24m in length, and to ships altered in ways that could affect stability.
Inclining test procedures [1] are specified by the International Maritime Organization and other international associations.

The weight of a vessel can be readily determined by reading draughts and comparing with the known hydrostatic properties.
The metacentric height (GM), which dominates stability, can be estimated from the design, but an accurate value must be
determined by an inclining test.

The inclining test is usually done inshore in calm weather, in still water, and free of mooring restraints to achieve accuracy. The GM
position is determined by moving weights transversely to produce a known overturning moment in the range of 1-4 degrees if
possible.[2] Knowing the restoring properties (buoyancy) of the vessel from its dimensions and floating position and measuring the
equilibrium angle of the weighted vessel, the GM can be calculated.

Inclinings can be performed in service by averaging out the effects of motions caused by waves. As in a new ship test, the weight
shifts have to be known and the angles of tilt measured. The effects of any mooring can be calculated and deducted. A series of
weight (usually ballast) movements are used to obtain an average and variance for GM.
Inclining Experiment

Requirements

  The experiment is carried out when the ship is built completely or when major structural changes have been done.

 The experiment is carried out with empty ship or as near to empty ship as possible.

 The ship must be in upright position.

 The ship should be sheltered and in calm waters.

 Mooring ropes should be slackened and gangway lifted.

 Draught and density of water are to be correctly noted.

 All tanks in the ship must be empty or pressed up tight to reduce free surface effect.

 Only those people responsible for conducting the experiment must go onboard.

The Experiment

To conduct this experiment, a special tool known as stabilograph is required. The tool consists of a heavy metal pendulum balanced

on a knife edge and connected to a pointer to record the heel angle readings.

Normally minimum of two stabilographs are used and are placed at maximum distance from each other i.e. one in forward and one

at aft.
Four masses are placed on the ships deck, two on each side of the mid ship, placed away from the centre line.

In the next step, the masses are moved one at a time until all four are on the same side, then all four on the other side, and lastly

two on each side.

The deflection on both the stabilographs is recorded for all the movement of mass and an average of these readings are used to

determine metacentric height.

Suppose Ѳ is the angle of heel and G1 is the moved position of the centre of gravity after inclination. Then by trigonometry,

GG1= GM tanѲ

Also GG1 is = m x d/Δ

Where m= mass moved

d= distance by which the mass is moved

Δ= displacement of ship in water

Hence GM = m x d  /ΔtanѲ

and GM is metacentric height

Where tanѲ can be determined by the readings of stabilograph
