LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• To understand the virtual loss of GM and

the calculations.
• To calculate the maximum trim allowed

to maintain a minimum stated GM.
• To understand the safe requirements for

a ship prior enter into dry dock.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• To understand the critical period during

dry docking process.
• To calculate the ship’s drafts after the

water level has fallen and after the ship
has taken the block overall.
• Effect to stability when vessel has run

aground (single point).

Anybody would like to share their experience during

dry docking….?

Before enter into dry dock, vessel must have…
• Positive initial GM (GM fluid)

• Upright
• Trim - if possible even-keel or
slight trim by stern
• Double bottom tank kept either dry
or pressed up - reduced FSE
• If initial GM is small - D.B. tank to
be pressed up to increase GM

When coming into Dry Dock:
• The vessel will line-up with her

centerline vertically over the keel
blocks
• Dock gate will be closed and

commence pumping out water

No effect on ship’s Initial Stability…

• The rate of pumping will be

reduced as the ship's sternpost
near the block.

Sueing Point
Commence touching the ground… ‘Sueing Point’

• Once the sternpost is touching the

block, the UP-THRUST forces start
to act against the sternpost.
• At this moment part of ship's

weight gets transferred to the keel
blocks.

P is the Upthrust Force acting at first point of

touching the ground. Commence Critical Period…

Sueing Point
at ‘AP’


touching the ground. Commence Critical Period…

• When ship's weight gets transferred to

the keel blocks, vessel will suffer loss on
her GM.
• The time interval between the sternpost

landing on the blocks and the ship taking
the blocks overall is referred to as the
CRITICAL PERIOD.

P force is increasing gradually as the trim change

by Head…Vessel is still in Critical Period…

• Vessel must have positive effective

GM that to be maintained
throughout the critical period.
• If not vessel may heel over, slip off

the blocks when there is an
external force acting and heel the
ship.

Vessel is fully rest on the blocks… End of Critical

Virtual Loss Of GM
During
Critical Period

• Method 1 – GG1
• Method 2 – MM1

Method 1
• When the vessel comes in contact

with the blocks, it is assumed that
there is a transfer of weight 'P'
from the keel to the blocks.
• Hence there is a virtual rise of

ship's G (discharged of weight
below G)
