SCENARIO CASE 1

Just like any other cargo, when grain cargo is loaded, vessel is required to comply with intact
stability requirements. This is simply because the grain can shift during voyage and officer
should ensure that heeling moments imposed by the grain cargo is kept to minimum.

VOYAGE INSTRUCTIONS –

Loading port : Recife, Brazil [Density 1.025, No draft restrictions]

Discharging port: Queen Elizabeth, South Africa [Density 1.000, No draft restrictions]
Cargo: Wheat in Bulk [ SF = 42.5 ft³/tons ] convert to m³/ton = divide by 35.8814 =
SF = 1.17054 m3/t
Kindly confirm max intake of the cargo.

Calculate Maximum amount of cargo that can be carried safely. Ensure that you are not exceeding
drafts and limits anywhere during the voyage. Initial Displacement = 14,798 MT, Solid KG = 10.69
m, Free surface moments due to slack tanks on board amount to FSM = 9980 t-m

Important Note: Remember, that unfilled holds means increase in the total heeling moment
values of the vessel as unfilled holds adds to heeling moments as they have space in which the
grain cargo can shift. Your ultimate aim is to keep the total heeling moments lesser than
allowable. The allowable heeling moments using the grain stability booklet is ALLOWABLE
HEELING MOMENTS = 58694 mt-m. Convert the Volumetric heeling moment obtained for each
hold into Grain heeling moment by dividing the Volumetric heeling moment by the SF of the
cargo

Max Summer displacement = 94798 mt [Summer draft = 14.486m, Density = 1.025]

Light ship (-) = 12628 mt
Summer deadweight. = 82170 mt
(-) Heavy Fuel Oil = 1197 mt
(-) Diesel Oil = 160 mt
(-) Fresh Water = 150 mt

Total Grain Heeling Moment = 30534 mt - m

Compare the total Grain heeling moments obtained with Allowable Heeling Moments. If the
THM < AHM, loading is permissible otherwise you need to re distribute the cargo to reduce
heeling moments.

FSE (m) = 9980

FSE (m) = 0.11 m

GM solid = KM – NKG
= 13.69 - 10.96
= 2.73 m

GoM = GM solid – FSE

= 2.73 - 0.11
= 2.62 m

Explain if the GoM calculated is in Accordance with the IMO criteria. (20 points)

The calculated GoM is in accordance with IMO criteria because the calculated GoM is 2.62m and
is greater than 0.30m which is the minimum criteria for IMO Stability for grain cargo.

Calculate KGo
KGo = KM + Ggo
KGo = 10.96 + 0.11
KGo = 11.07m

Photo copy paste here your Curve of statical stability showing the angle of heel due to shift of
grain. (20 points)

Explain and show if the angle of heel due to the shift of grain is in accordance with the
IMO criteria. (20 points)
In my calculations the angle of Heel due to shift of cargo is around 3.5 degrees. Therefore, as
stated in IMO criteria that the stability requirement for the International Code for Safe Carriage
of Grain in bulk should not be greater than 12 degrees, the calculated angle of heel is in
accordance to the IMO criteria.

Explain the stability principle behind the scenario statements (20 Points)

1. The more tanks for fluid to slosh around, the greater the instability.
With more partly filled tanks are present it will have more free surface moment and will pose
danger to the stability of the ship.
When this happen the gravity will shift from one side to another making the metacentric height
to reduce and resulting to ship instability.

2. Loading weight to only one side of an upright vessel will tend her to have permanent list.
If you load weight to only one side of the vessel the gravity will shift and move to the direction
where the weight has been loaded and will have a permanent list unless you add another same
weight in the opposite side.

3. Negative stability will make her capsize.

In this scenario the Gravity will be above the metacenter making it to have a negative GM and
with a negative GM it will have a big chance for the ship to capsize

4. Icing conditions reduces stability

Icing conditions results to adding extra weight to the deck of the ship making the center of
gravity to move upward resulting to great instability of the ship. The ship may experience
rolling, pitching or capsizing because of icing condition.
