Stability – I : Chapter 11

  1. A ship of W 9000t, KG 8.3m loads 600t of cargo (KG 4.0m, 3m to port of the centre line ) and discharge 400t of cargo ( KG 9.0m, , from 5m to port of the centre line ). 200t of cargo is then shifted upwards by 5m and to starboard by 8m. 300t of cargo is then is then shifted 1m downwards and 4m port .Find the list if the final KM is 8.95m.
Solution :
Ship’s wt
KG
VM
d
LM
 9000t 8.3 74700
(+) 600t 4.0 (+) 2400 3(P) 1800
(-) 400t 9.0 (-) 3600 5(P) 2000
200 t 5 (+) 1000 8 (S) 1600
300 t 1 (-) 300 4(P) 1200

Final W = 9200 t                                 Final VM = 74200 tm                                           FLM = 600(S)

Final   KG = (Final VM)/(Final W)
Final KG = (74200)/(9200)
= 8.065m

Final GM = (KM – KG)
= (8.95 – 8.065)
= 0.885m

tanθ = (600 )/(9200 x 0.885)
= 4 degree ( S)
