    The document discusses heavy lift carriers and the effect of heavy cargo on ship stability. It defines key terms like seaworthiness and heavy lift cargo. It explains how the center of gravity moves during loading, unloading, and shifting of cargo. Calculations are shown for how a heavy lift of 200 tons would affect the metacentric height of a 10000 ton carrier in different cargo loading scenarios. It stresses the importance of careful cargo planning and securing for heavy lift ships.

    Ore Shenzen

    VLOC / Valemax Ore carrier ( Bulk Carrier )


    It can carry up to 400,000 tons of iron ore.
    One of biggest bulk carrier ever built.
     OOCL Hongkong
     It can carry 21,000 TEU – means 21,000 20 ft
    containers
     With a length of about 400m
    SEAM 213
    Cargo Handling and Stowage of Non-
    Dangerous Goods and Inspection

     Chapter VI 0f Solas Convention


     Carriage of cargoes
    Learning Outcome :

    Explain the effect of heavy lift to the seaworthiness and


    stability of the ship
     Definitions :

    Seaworthy - a ship is deemed to be seaworthy when she


    is reasonably fit in all aspects to encounter the
    ordinary perils of the seas of the adventure insured.

    Heavy lift cargo - is classified as indivisible items


    weighing over few tons up to over a thousand tons, and
    have widths and/or heights that exceed 100 meters.
    Specialty vehicles, vessels and equipment is needed to
    safely and effectively transport these items via land, air
    or sea.
    Heavy lift carrier
    - a vessel designed to move very large loads that cannot
    be handled by normal ships.

    Semi-submersible ships that take on water ballast to


    allow the load—usually another vessel—to be floated
    over the deck, whereupon the ballast is jettisoned and
    the ship's deck and cargo raised above the waterline.
     Movement of the center of gravity

     Loading- the center of gravity will move


    towards the weight being loaded.

     Unloading – the center of gravity will move


    away from the weight being discharged.

     Shifting – The center of gravity will move


    towards and the same direction of the
    weight being shifted.
     When a weight is suspended by ship’s gear the center
    of gravity of the that will move to the point of
    suspension. The effect is the same as loading the
    weight high at that position.
     A heavy lift carrier displaces 10000 tons has initial KG
    of 7.5m and KM of 7.9m. 200 tons of heavy cargo will be
    loaded from the quay 10.0m starboard off the center line.
    The head of the derrick to its maximum extent is 28m
    above the keel. Solve the following assuming that KM will
    remain constant.

     A. The Metacentric height (GM) when the weight is


    suspended.
     B. Metacentric height when the weight is loaded on the
    deck (KG=15m).
     C. Metacentric height when the weight is loaded in the
    lower hold (KG=3m)
     D. Will the ship remain stable and seaworthy when the
    weight is suspended by ship’s gear? Justify your answer.
    A.
    GM = -0.002 m

    B.
    GM = 0.25 m

    C.
    GM = 0.49 m
     Will the ship remain stable and seaworthy when the
    weight is suspended?
    When the ship is at port the stowage location of the
    heavy lift cargo is very vital. The transverse and
    longitudinal stability are the paramount importance.

    Very careful precaution must be taken when loading and


    unloading specially very heavy cargo.
     When at sea :
     Lashing should be checked at an interval of time when
    underway.

     Loose lashing must be made tight.


     If the cargo will run loose it will destroy other cargoes
    and ship structure and the ship might be capsize
    because of the off center weight caused by it.
