Ship’s weight |

VM |
| 12,600t | 6m | 75,600tm |
| ( -) 600t ( discharge) | 11m | (-) 6600tm |
Final Weight =12000 t Final VM =69000tm
We know that :
Final KG = (Final VM / Final Weight)
Final KG = ( 69,000 / 12000)
= 5.75m

In a vessel of 9900 tonnes displacement and KG 4m, a heavy lift of 100 tonnes is loaded on the UD (KG 15m ). Find the final KG.
Solution:
Ship’s weight |
KG |
VM |
| 12,600t | 4m | 39,600tm |
| (+)100 t load | 15m | ( +)1500tm |
Final W 10000t Final VM =41000tm
We know that:
Final KG = (Final VM / Final Weight)
Final KG = ( 41000 / 10000 )
= 4.11m.
