QUESTIONS
1. At least give 3 scenarios when the ship is going from seawater to freshwater

2. Where does the ship trims.

3. In adding a weight on the ship, where does the center of gravity moves?

4. What is the volume or spaces above the waterline that keep the ship afloat?
5. In longitudinal Stability, where can you put a weight without causing a trim?

 What do I do?
Crewmates
Congratulations, you’re a member of
the Among Us Crew. That means
you’re out there to help repair this
ship/station/colony
Impostor
Congratulations, you get to sabotage
the Crew. That means you’ll be in
charge of throwing a wrench into their
operations
 Transverse stability
Transverse Stability is the ability of the
vessel to return to vertical when she has
been heeled. The heeling could be because
of an external force including the action of
the sea and swell. It is always necessary to
maintain stability even when a vessel has
altered distribution of weights within the
ship.

 Transverse Stability
Transverse stability largely determines the ship's
seaworthiness. Among other things, the location of points G,
B and M can determine if a ship, for example, will experience
problems in bad weather.
The shipbuilder can influence the location of:

- 'B', through the shape and volume of the hull

- 'M: by the area and shape of the water-plane area.

For every ship B and M are in a fixed position for each

particular draft. The crew only has control of G by loading
discharging or transferring weight.
Transverse stability can be divided into:

- initial stability (angles up to about 5°)

- stability with angles of heel greater than 5°

Important for transverse stability are the distances:

KM (and if given, BM), indicative for form stability

KG is indicative of weight stability.
 Stability Conditions
POSITIVE STABILITY
The metacenter is located above the ship’s center of GM > 0 means the ship is stable
gravity. As the ship is inclined, Righting Arms are created (Positive).
GM = 0 means the ship is neutrally
which tend to return the ship to its original, vertical position.
stable.
GM < 0 means the ship is unstable
NEUTRAL STABILITY (Negative).
The metacenter and the ship’s center of gravity are in
the same location. As the ship is inclined, no Righting Arms
are created. (until the metacenter starts to move after the
ship is inclined past 7o-10o)

NEGATIVE STABILITY
The ship’s center of gravity is located above the
metacenter. As the ship is inclined, negative Righting Arms
(called upsetting arms) are created which tend to capsize
the ship.
 Longitudinal Stability

These parameters can also

be used to describe
longitudinal stability.
 Centre of Flotation (COF)
It is the centroid of ship’s water plane area. It is the point at which ship
would pivot when the trim is changed. The position of ship COF is
indicated by its distance from the After perpendicular (AF) of forward or
abaft amidships (HF).
 Pitch
Pitch is caused when a wave changes
the underwater volume of a ship,
making the forces of gravity and
buoyancy to get separated by a distance
and forming a couple which leads to dip
or uplift in the bow or the stern of
vessel. The up and down movement of
the ship’s ends, due to longitudinal shift
of COB resulting from wave action, is
called pitch.
 Trim

The difference between

drafts forward and aft is
called Trim. It can be
expressed in meters or in
centimeters.
 Topic 10 Calculation of the ship
stability on the different condition
Displacement tonnage
is nothing more than the
total weight of the
volume of water a ship
“displaces” when it is
sitting in the water.
Standard displacement
tonnage is basically the
same thing as
“displacement tonnage”
with one minor
difference.
Deadweight tonnage is
the weight (in tons) of all
the cargo, fuel, dry
provisions, supplies, etc.
carried on board the ship.
1. A SHIP FLOATING IN DW OF
DENSITY 1.015 AT A DRAFT
OF 4.5 m, IS 80 m LONG AND 10
m WIDE AT THE WATERLINE.
IF HER BLOCK COEFFICIENT
IS 0.76  AND HER
LIGHT DISPLACEMENT IS
 Displacement = 80 x 10 x 4.5 x
0.76 x 1.015​
= 2777.04 ​
Total Displacement 2777.04 - light
displacement 1100 tons​
 DWT aboard = 1677.04 tons​
2. A SHIP IS FLOATING IN FW
AT A  DRAFT OF 6.8 m. IF HER
MAXIMUM FW DRAFT IS 7.0
m, AND HER SW TPC IS 40,
FIND THE DWT AVAILABLE.​
 SW TPC = WPA x 1.025/100​
40 = ? x 1.025 /100 = ​
WPA = 40 x 100 /1.025 = 3902.4 m²​
FW TPC = WPA / 100 = 3902.4
/100 = 39.024 t /cm​
Sinkage = 7.00 - 6.80 = 0.20 m or
20 cms ​
Cargo to load = Sinkage x TPC​
Lightweight tonnage is best
described as the weight of the
ship when it was built in the
shipyard including all framing,
machinery, decking, etc.
Gross Tonnage is a measure
of the ships total interior volume
and is calculated by multiplying
the interior volume “V” of the
ship in cubic meters by a
variable known as “K” (which
varies depending on the ships
overall volume).
Net Tonnage is a measure of
the total interior volume of a
ship’s cargo spaces and is
calculated in much the same
way.  The total volume of
designated cargo spaces in
cubic meters is then multiplied
by myriad factors resulting in an
official net tonnage value.
Displacement (symbol ∆) is
Displacement Weight x g
(g=9.81 m/s2), and is the same as
buoyancy. Displacement volume
(∇) The volume the vessel's hull
displaces in water. In seawater with
specific gravity of 1.025 kg/m3, the
Displacement Volume for a vessel
Displacement of 47,000t is 45,854
m3.
