Solve the following 2 problem as per required each problem and show your complete
solution if your solution is not clear I will mark it wrong. Use the word documents
provided for answering the question

1.A box- shape vessel 180 m long beam 30 m floating in fresh water at a draft of
7.00 m forward and aft. She has an amidships compartment which is empty 70
meters in length is bilged. In the present condition the KG is 13.5 meters.
Calculate the following by using the added weight method.

(a) Calculate the draft in the bilge condition

(b) Calculate the initial GM
(c) Calculate GM in the bilged condition
(d) Calculate the moment of statical stability if the vessel is heeled to 8 degrees

SOLUTION ( A)
A.)The draft in bilge condition
Calculate the mass of flood water admitted into the compartment.
Let x equal the new draft after bilging .
Added mass of water = 70x 30x 1.025 = 2152.5 or 2153x (1)
Calculate the initial displacement.
Initial displacement = 180 x 30 x 7 x 1.025 = 38745x (2)
Calculate the new displacement.
New displacement = 180 x 30 x X x 1.025 =5535x (3)
Calculate final draft(x)
New displacement (3) = Initial displacement (2)+mass of flood water(1)

5535x =38745+2153x
5535x-2153x = 38745
3382x =38745
X= draught in the bilged condition=11.456 m

S0LUTION (B)
B.) Calculate the initial GM, First calculate KM.
KM=KB+BM
KB=Draft =7.000 =3.500m
2 2
BM= LB = 180x303
3
=10.714 m
12V 12 x(180x30x7)

Therefore: KM=3.500+10.714= 14.214m

Calculate GM:

GM=KM-KG GM=14.214-13.500= 0.714m Ans

SOLUTION (C)

Calculate the Final KG

Initial displacement =38745
Mass of floodwater = 70x30x 11.456x1.025 = 24659.04 tonnes
KG of the flood water =11.456 = 5.728m
2
Introduced free surface moments = LB3 =dt =70x303 x 1,025
12 12
Free Surface Moments = 161437.5 or 161438 t-m

To calculate the GM in the bilged condition, calculate KM

Weight (t) KG ( m ) Moments ( t-m )

Initial 38745 13.500 523058
Flood water 24659.04 5.725 141173.004
FSMs 161438
Final 63404.04 13.022 m 825669.004

CALCULATE THE FINAL KM

To calculate the GM in the bilged condition, calculate KM.

KM=KB+BM
KB= Draft =11.450m =5.725m
2 2
BM= LB = (180-70) x303 =6.548m
3

12V 12 x(180x30x7)
Therefore: KM= 5.725+6.548=12.273 m
Calculate GM for the bilged condition:
GM=KM-KG GM=12.273-13.500= 1.227m Ans
SOLUTION (D)

Righting moment (t-m) = GZ x Displacement

Displacement=Length x breadth x draft x Density of water
Displacement=180x30x7x1.025=30 745 tonnes
At80 ,a small angle of heel: GZ= GM x sin €
Righting moment (t-m) = (GM x Sin€ ) x displacement
Righting moment (t-m) = (1.227x sin €) x 30745
= 5250 t-m Ans

2. A box-shaped vessel has a length of 130 m and 28 m breadth floating at sea

water 5.50 m draft forward and aft. She has an empty amidships bottom
compartment 24 m in length extending the full breadth of the vessel with a
watertight flat 5.00 m above the keel.

(a) Calculate the draft in the bilge condition

(b) Calculate KM for the intact condition
(c) Calculate final KM
(d) Calculate the change in GM

SOLUTION (A)

Let x = sinkage =24x28x5.00=130x28xX

3360=3640x
X=0.923m
Therefore the draft in the bilged condition =5.500+0.923=6.423 m

SOLUTION (B)
Calculate KM for the intact condition

Intact KM
KM=KB+BM

KB=Draft = 5.500 =2.750 m

2 2
BM= LB3 =130x283
12V 12x(130x28x5.50)=11.870 m
Therefore:2.750+11.870=14.620 m
 Volume ( m3 ) KB ( m ) Moment ( m4 )
Total volume below 130x28x6.423 6.423/2 75083.97078
final WL Or
75084
Volume of DB lost -(24x28x5.00) 5/2 -8400
Final 130x28x5.50 3.331 m 66684

KB=3.331m

(Note that the final volume of displacement is the same as the initial volume of
displacement, so just use the original value)
BM= LB3
12V
However since water plane are has remained fully intact and the volume of
displacement does not change.
Initial BM=Final BM=11.870 m
Therefore: Final KM =3.331+11.870=15.201 m

Change in GM = Change in KM

Initial KM 14.620
Final KM 15.201
Change in GM 0.581

GM has increased by 0.581 m

In this instance the initial stability of the vessel has increased as a result of bilging the
compartment. This is due to the addition of bottom weight with no introduced free
surface moments (If the added weight method were to be considered).
