SAMPLE PROBLEMS

P1.
Determine the ship's displacement by using a hydrostatic table when the ship is floating at a draft of 8.9
meters, Dock Water density of 1.012.

Solution:
- Ships Displacement in Salt Water
- Ships Displacement in Fresh Water
- Ships Displacement in Dock Water with Density of 1.012
P2.
Determine the ship's displacement using a hydrostatic table when the ship is floating in salt water at a
draft of 8.86 meters.

Solution:
- Ship’s displacement in Salt Water at a draft of 8.86 m
- Interpolation for the ship’s displacement when floating in salt water

P3.
Determine the ships TPC (tons per centimeter immersion) by using hydrostatic table when the ship is
floating at a draft of 8.8 meters, Dock Water density of 1.015.

Solution:
- Ship’s TPC in Salt Water - Ship’s TPC in Dock Water with density of 1.015
- Ship’s TPC in Fresh Water
P4.
Determine the ship's TPC (tons per centimeter immersion) by using a hydrostatic table when the ship is
floating in SW at a draft of 8.84 meters.

Solution:
- Ship’s TPC in Salt Water at a draft of 8.84 m
- Interpolation for the ships TPC when floating in salt water
P5.
Calculate the amount of cargo to be loaded onboard when she is required to complete its loading to its
summer load draft which is 10.10 m with an initial draft of 3.30 when floating in salt water.

Solution:

If the Cargo to Load is Unknown, Subtract the Displacement of Initial and Load Draft.

P6.
Calculate the ship’s final displacement and mean draft after loading 20780 tons of cargo. The ship is
floating in water and has an initial draft of 3.60 meters.

Solution:
P7.
When a ship of 12000 tons displacement is heeled 6.5degrees the moment of statical stability is 600
tons-m.Calculate the initial metacentric height.

Solution:

MOSS = W x GZ
GZ = GM x Sin θ

MOSS = W x GM x Sin θ

GM = 0.44 m

P8.
A box-shaped vessel 65m x 12m x 8 m has KG 4 m, and is floating in salt water upright on an even keel at
4 m draft Fand A. Calculate the moments of statical stability at 5º and 25º heel.

Solution: This is for the 5*

Formula’s

MOSS = W x GZ
GZ = GM x Sin θ
GM = KM – KG
KM = KB + BM

W = V x ρ; where V = L x B x D and
SW ρ = 1.025

Therefore:

W = L x B x D x ρ = 65 x 12 x 4 x 1.025
= 3198 tons
MOSS = 3198 tons x GZ
GZ = GM x Sin θ
GM = KM – KG
KM = KB + BM

KB = ½ draft = 2 m
BM = B² / 12d
= 12² / 12 x 4
= 144 / 48
=3m
MOSS = W x GZ = 278.9 tons-m
Solution: This is for 25*

MOSS = W x GZ
GZ = (GM+ ½ BM tan ² θ) Sin θ
= (1 + ½ x 3 x tan ² 25) Sin θ
= 0.56 m

MOSS = W x GZ
= 3198 x 0.56
= 1790.9 tons-m

STRESS TABLES AND STRESS CALCULATING EQUIPMENT

Ship’s Stress - is a load or force acting per unit area.

Therefore; f = W / A
Where f = Stress, W = Load,
A = Area Stress ( f ) = kg/mm2 or tons/m2

Ship’s Stress

Longitudinal Stress
Hogging Condition
Hog or Hogging - Condition of a vessel wherein the buoyancy is more than the weight over approx. the
midship half-length with less buoyancy than the weight at both ends, so that the tendency of the vessel is
to arch up or “hog” amidships.

Tension = Tensile Stress Compression = Compressive Stress - Excess of Buoyancy

 Sagging Condition
Sag or Sagging - The form of longitudinal deformation under stress in which the middle part of a ship’s
structure sinks below extremities.

Tension = Tensile Stress Compression = Compressive Stress - Excess of Weight

Transverse Stress

Racking - When a ship is rolling in a seaway or is struck by beam waves, the ship's structure is liable to
distort in a transverse direction.

Effects of Water Pressure - Water pressure acts perpendicular to the shell of the ship, increasing with
depth. The effect is to push the ship's sides in and the bottom up. It is resisted by frames, bulkheads, floor
and girders.

Local Stress

Pounding - Occurs at the bottom plating of a ship near the bow during excessive pitching. To compensate
for slamming down of a ship's bottom, outer bottom plating is thickened and connections to inner shell
and inner bottom girder are strengthened.

Panting - refers to the tendency of steel hull plating to flex in and out like an oil can being squeezed when
a ship is pitching. This occurs when a ship is making headway in waves. Panting creates significant stress
on a ship's hull.

Stress Table - it is a document that provides information about the different types of stress that a ship may
experience such as, Longitudinal, Transverse, and Local stress.

Ship’s Loading Software - is a type of software that helps with load planning and loading calculations
for ships. It provides an integrated and user-friendly system for safe and efficient ship operation. The
software is designed to operate on an interactive graphical environment, and the user always works on
the actual vessel plan. The software is suitable for use onboard, as well as in office as a standalone
system. The Ship Loading Software is type approved by all major Classification Societies.
