A ship of displacement 2000t and KG 4.2m, loads 300t 0f cargo (KG 2.0m ), 200t of cargo (KG 3.2m) and 500t of bunkers ( KG 0m ). Find her final KG.
Solution:
Ship’s weight |
KG |
VM |
2000t (load) | 4.2m | 3400 tm |
300t (load) | 2.0m | (+) 600 tm |
200t (load) | 3.2m | (+) 640 tm |
500t (load ) | 1.0 m | (+)500 tm |
Final W = 300t Final VM = 10140 tm
We know that:-
Final KG = (Final VM) / (Final W)
Final KG = 10140 / 3000
= 3.38m
