(2) From the following ship particulars at a certain load condition, calculate the light weight,
dead weight and total displacement of the ship:
Cargo weight = 6000 ton
Steel weight = 1620 ton
Outfitting weight = 1180 ton
Fresh water weight = 30 ton
E. R. machinery weight = 750 ton
Deck machinery weight = 450 ton
Fuel oil weight = 50 ton
Stores weight = 30 ton
Solid ballast = 20 ton
Water ballast = 30 ton
Number of crew = 40
Calculate:
1- Net and invoiced steel weight.
2- Light ship weight.
3- Total displacement.
Use the method of dimensional differences and corrections for steel weight
estimation, and assume that:
- The machinery weight /kw = 0.04
- The ship has the same net deadweight as the basis ship.
- The ship has the same capacity of fuel oil and fresh water tanks as the basis ship.
- The length and breadth affect 50% of the outfitting weight.
Solution of question (1)
Volume of deck plating = length * breadth * thickness
= 21 * 6 * 0.008 = 1.008 m3
Weight of deck plating = volume * density
= 1.008 * 7.8 = 7.862 tons
Total weight of deck and stiffeners = 7.862 * 0.491 * 0.629 * 2.106 = 11.088 tons
