criteria. When did this edition came into effect?
Answer: January 1, 2020

2. In the Intact Stability criteria what is the required minimum GM for passenger and cargo
ships?
a) 0.15m b) 0.20m c) 0.25m d) 0.30m
Answer: a. 0.15

and its corresponding angle of heel?
a) 0.09m-rad @ 40o b) 0.20m @ 30o or less c) 0.15m @ 30o
o
Answer: b. 0.20m @ 30 or less

4. The condition where the ship has suffered a breach of the hull through grounding, etc.
and water has been admitted is called ______.
a) Breaching b) Permeability c) Bilging d) Agrounding
Answer: c. Bilging

5. As a result of bilging, there is increase in the draft, therefore the Center of Buoyancy will
move downwards. TRUE or FALSE
Answer: FALSE

6. As a result of bilging, the displacement of the ship does not change, the Center of
Gravity will not shift vertically. TRUE or FALSE.
Answer: TRUE

7. State at least three (3) parameters that will change due to bilging.
Answer: a) Hydrostatic draft will increase
b) Position of COB i.e. KB, LCB and distance of COB from shipside
c) Trim and List

8. In drydocking, when the ship is completely borne by the blocks, water is pumped out
slowly from the dock. TRUE or FALSE
Answer: FALSE
9. The vertical parallel forces acting on a ship when on drydock are the following, except:
a) Buoyancy acting upward
b) Keel block upthrust acting upward
c) Weight acting downward
d) Center of Buoyancy acting downwards
Answer: d) Center of Buoyancy acting downwards

10. The following are the main factors that affect quat, except:
a) Depth of water
b) Speed of the ship
c) Block coefficient
d) Blockage factor of canal
Answer: a) Depth of water

11. The formula for the Value of Squat in enclosed water is: Value of Squat is equal to block
coefficient multiplied by the square of the speed time 2, then divided by 100. The result
is measured in meters. If the block coefficient is 70% or 0.70 and the speed is 13 knots,
what is the Value of Squat in enclosed waters? Show your solution. (5 points)
Solution:
Value of Squats = (Block Coefficient x Speed2) x 2
100
= (0.70 x 132) x 2
100
= (0.70 x 169) x 2
100
= 118.3 x 2
100
= 236.6
100
Answer: Value of Squats = 2.366 m or 2.37 m

12. There are two methods of finding the ship condition after flowing. Which of these two
methods states that the displacement of the vessel is calculated as the sum of the intact
displacement and the mass of the flooding water?
a) Method of Lost Buoyancy b) Method of added weights
Answer: b) Method of Added Weights

13. State at least three (3) changes when a tank containing some liquid is bilged assuming
that the liquid in the tank is discharged:
Answer: a) Draft, U/W volume, displacement, KB and FSM will reduce.
b) LCG, trim and list will change depending on location of the bilged tank.
c) LCB will also change for vessel but for a box-shaped vessel it will remain the
same as half the length of the vessel.

14. A document that is prepared for every ship during its preliminary design phase.
a) Intact Stability Criteria
b) Hydrostatic Curve
c) Docking Plan
d) Loading and Discharging Plan
 Answer: c) Docking Plan
15. During the critical period in drydocking, the magnitude of the upward normal reaction
decreases as the water level in the dry dock reduces. TRUE or FALSE.
Answer: FALSE

16. The lowest part of the ship where the bottom curves to meet the sides.
a) Keel b) Double bottom tank c) Bilge d) Bilge Keel
Answer: c) Bilge

17. The deciding factors for damage stability compliance are the following, except:
a) Angle of heel
b) The distance from main deck to opening through which flooding takes place
c) Residual righting lever
d) The area under the GZ curve.
Answer: b) The distance from main deck to opening through which flooding takes
place

GOOD LUCK!!!
