Stability – I : Chapter 11

Case – 3

Ship’s wt
KG
VM
LM
10000 6.8 68000 437.44 P
100 8 – 800 600.00 S

Final W= 10000t                                     Final VM= 67200tm            FLM= 162.56 S

We know that:
Final KG = (Final VM/Final W)
= (67200/10000)
= 6.72m

Now,    Final GM = (KM – KG)
=(7.3 – 6.72)m
= 0.58m

Again, tanθ  = Final LM/ (W  x GM)
= 162.56 /(10000 x 0.58)
= 1.6 degree (S)

  1. A ship of W 13000t, KM 8.75m, KG 8.0m, has the list of 6degree to starboard . A heavy-lift weighing 150t lying on the upper deck 9m above the keel and 5m stbd of the centre line , is to be discharge using the ship’s jumbo derrick whose head is 22m above the keel . Calculate
  • The list as soon as the load is taken by the derrick.
  • When the load the hanging over the port side of the ship with an outreach of 10m from the centre line .
  • After discharging the heavy-lift.

Solution:

Given :

Displacement (W) = 13000t,
KM = 8.75m &
KG = 8.0m
Initial  GM =0.75m
List = 6 degree stbd ,
w  = 150t,
KG = 9m lying  = 5m to stbd ofC
derrick = 22m
