Stability – I : Chapter 10

  1. Vessel in same condition as in question 10 consume’s the following on a passage :
  • All HFO  (i.e 150t) from NO2 port .
  • Part HFO (i.e 50t ) from NO.3c .
  • All FW (i.e. 100 t ) from NO4 S.

Find the GM fluid on arrival port .

Solution:

Ship’s wt
KG
VM
FSM
10000 8.954 89540tm 2087.4
(-) 150t 0.65 (-) 97.5tm (-) 684.0
(-) 50t 0.60 (-) 30tm (+) 1140.0
(-) 100t 0.70 (-)70 tm (-)300.0

Final W =9700 t                                                   FVM = 89342.5 tm                     FSM= 2243.5

We know that :
Final KG = (Final VM/ Final W)
= (89342.5/9700)

Final KG  = 9.21m

Again,    FSC = (FSM / Final W)
= (2243.5 /9700)
= 0.231m

GM (Solid)   = KM – KG
= (9.9 – 9.21)
= 0.69m

GM fluid = GM (solid) – FSC
= (0.69 – 0.231)
= 0.459m.
