UCNS606Ship Stability IVPART AUnit 12 MarksAngle of heel when turning, Wind heeling1Define ‘Pivot Point’Pivot Point is the point of application of the hydrodynamic forces acting on the ship's hull. It is the point around which the ship rotates. 2What is the purpose of the turning circle manoeuvre?The purpose of the turning circle manoeuvre is to determine the turning characteristics of the ship. Basic information obtained from the turning test are advance, transfer, tactical diameter, steady turning diameter, final ship speed and turning rate in the steady state. 3What is ‘Advance’ with regards to turning circle?Advance is the distance travelled in the direction of the original course by the centre of gravity of a ship from the position at which the rudder order is given to the position at which the heading has changed 90° from the original course.4What is ‘Transfer’ with regards to turning circle?Transfer is the distance travelled by the centre of gravity of the ship in a direction perpendicular to the original heading of the ship to the position at which the heading has changed 90° from the original course.5What is ‘Tactical diameter’ with regards to turning circle?Tactical diameter is the distance travelled by the centre of gravity of a ship from the position at which the rudder order is given to the position at which the heading has changed 180° from the original course. It is measured in a direction perpendicular to the original heading of the ship.6What is Steady turning circle radius with regards to turning circle?Steady turning circle radius is the steady radius of the turning circle when a steady rate of turn is achieved. This state is usually achieved by the time the ship has altered course between 90? and 180? however this will vary from ship to ship7What are the information obtained from the turning test?Basic information obtained from the turning test are advance, transfer, tactical diameter, steady turning diameter, final ship speed and turning rate in the steady state. 8What is ‘drift angle’?Yaw is the angle between the ship’s fore and aft line and the direction of travel of the ship’s centre of gravity at any instant during the turn.9What is the IMO standard requirement for the size of tactical diameter in relation to ship’s length?10What is the IMO standard requirement for the size of Advance in relation to ship’s length?11State the formula to calculate the centrifugal force, when the ship achieves a steady rate of turn. Centrifugal Force = WV2 tonnes gR W is ship displacement;V is ship speed in metres per second;g = 9.81 m/sec2;R is the radius of the turning circle.12State the formula to calculate the centripetal force, when the ship achieves a steady rate of turn.13State the formula to calculate the angle of heel when turning, when the ship achieves a steady rate of turn.Tan = V2 BGg R GM14State the formula to calculate the increase in Draft Due to List/Heel.Draught when heeled = (?Beam x Sine?) + (Upright draught x Cos?) 15State the formula to calculate the heel due to beam wind.P.y = W.GM Sin? or Sin? = P.yW.GM 16When the Turning circle manoeuvre is carried out in a ship’s life?Turning circles are normally carried out during the sea trials of the vessel prior to handover from builders to owners. The fact that the manoeuvre may have to be carried out at sea, for collision avoidance purposes, makes this an essential for the ship's Master and Watchkeeping Officers.17What is the use of the turning circle diagramme displayed in the bridge?Unit2Inclining experiment1What is the purpose of 'Inclining experiment'?Chapter 2 of the Code on Intact Stability for all Types of Ships, details the information that must be provided to the master of all ships in order that stability calculations may be accurately conducted to ensure the ship’s safe operation. A key element of this information is the Inclining Test Report that details the calculation procedure conducted to determine the ship’s light KG and displacement.2Which ships are required to conduct the ‘Inclining experiment’It requires that every passenger ship regardless of size and every cargo ship of 24 m or over be inclined on completion in order to determine the value of the KG in the light condition.3Define ‘Lightship condition'Lightship condition: the ship complete in all respects, but without consumables, stores, cargo, crew and effects, and without any liquids on board except that machinery and piping fluids, such as lubricants and hydraulics are at operating levels.4What other data are determined during the Inclining experiment apart from light ship KGDuring the experiment the longitudinal position of the centre of gravity (LCG) for the light condition will also be determined.5State the formulae to calculate GM during inclining experimentGM = w?x?d?xPendulum?lengthWxDeflection?of?the?pendulum6Why the pendulum weight should be suspended in a trough of hydraulic oil?Trough of oil-plumb weight has vanes to help dampen movement7Why the mass of the inclining weight(s) used should be sufficient to provide a minimum list of 1° and a maximum list of 4°?The mass of the inclining weight(s) used should be sufficient to provide a minimum list of 1° and a maximum list of 4° to each side. This is to ensure that the formula: Tan ?LIST = GGHGM remains valid, being applicable to small angles of inclination only.8Why the Decks should be free of water, snow or ice when conducting inclining experiment?Decks should be free of water. Any water trapped on deck will move during the test and reduce the accuracy of the result. Snow and ice must also be removed.9Why all tanks should be verified as being completely empty or full when conducting inclining experiment?Ideally tanks with rectangular free surfaces should only be slack so that the free surface effect can be accurately determined. Slack tanks must have the contents accurately determined with respect to liquid mass and Kg.10When is the first inclining experiment conducted for a ship?11How many pendulums are used to conduct inclining experiment?The use of three pendulums (but no less than two) is recommended, one forward, one midships and one aft to allow bad readings at any one station to be identified. Unit 3Dry docking and grounding1What is the use of ‘shores’ during drydocking?For ships those have a relatively small percentage of flat bottom area additional measures must also be taken such as using side shores to support the ship in the upright condition when in the dry dock.2What is P force during drydocking?the P force takes over supporting the ship and the role of the buoyancy force in supporting the ship reduces3State the formula to calculate ‘P’ force at Any Stage During Dry-dockingP force (t) = Reduction in TMD (cms) x TPC4State the formula to calculate ‘P’ force, only incritical period During Dry-dockingP= COT?(cms)xMCTCDist?of?LCF?foap5what is the 'critical instant' with regard to drydockingThe maximum loss of GM of concern occurs at the instant immediately prior to the ship settling on the blocks forward and aft - this time being termed the critical instant. 6what is the 'critical period' with regard to drydockingThe interval of time between the stern post landing on the blocks and the ship taking the blocks overall is referred to as the critical period7what is Virtual loss of GM during drydocking8State the formula to calculate ‘Loss of GM’ as a Result of a Rise in ‘G’During Dry-dockingVirtual loss of GM = PxKGW-P 9State the formula to calculate ‘Loss of GM’ as a Result of a Fall in ‘M’During Dry-dockingGM = P?x?KMW10ShouldFSC be applied while calculating the loss of stability during drydocking?11ShouldFSC be applied while calculating the loss of stability of a vessel when grounded?12When will be the maximum loss of GM occurs during Dry-docking13What will happen if the ship should become unstable during the critical periodUnit 4Bilging1What is a bilged ship?A 'bilged' ship is one that has suffered a breach of the hull through grounding, collision or other means and a compartment holed below waterline to such an extent that the water may flow freely into and out of the compartment.2State the formula to Calculate the KM of a box-shaped vesselKMBOX = Draught2 + LB312V3What is the difference between Added weight method and Lost buoyancy method4What are the effects of bilging an empty amidships compartment?The changes in draught and stability when a compartment becomes flooded due to damage can be investigated by either of two methods:(1) the lost buoyancy (constant displacement) method, or;(2) the added weight method.5Define ‘Permeability’Permeability (μ) is the percentage ratio of the space available for the entry of water into a compartment. For an empty compartment μ =100% and for a compartment, so full that water cannot enter at all if bilging occurred, μ =0% 6State the formula to calculate ‘sinkage’ due to BilgingS = Vol?of?lost?buoyancyIntact?water?plane?area7When a DB tank below water level get bilged, how a vessel’s BM is affected?8State the formula to calculate permeability if Stowage factor and Broken stowage are givenFor any compartment μ may be calculated by:μ = (Broken Stowage/Stowage Factor) x 100%Where SF is the stowage factor in cubic metres per tonne and BS is the broken stowage per tonne of cargo.9If a forward compartment is bilged, what will happen to a vessel with even keel?10If a stbd compartment is bilged, what will happen to an upright vessel?Unit 5Shear Forces and Bending Moments in ships1define shear forceShear force is a force which tends to break or shear a beam across (perpendicular to) its major axis.2define bending momentBending moment at any point on abeam is the total moment tending to alter the shape of the beam.3Show on a load curve, where maximum shear force values will occur?it should be evident that the maximum values of shear force will occur at the bulkhead positions4Show on a shear force curve, where maximum bending moment values will occur?The maximum bending moment value of occurs at amidships5Show on a shear force curve, where the Point of inflexion of the bending moment will occur?It should be noted that a point of inflexion of the bending moment curve will occur in any position where there is a shear force maximum6What is type 1 Stability Software on a Loading instrument?Type 1Software calculating intact stability only (for vessels not required to meet a damage stability criterion)7What is type 2 Stability Software on a Loading instrument?Type 2Software calculating intact stability and checking damage stability on basis of a limit curve (e g. for vessels applicable to SOLAS Part B-1 damage stability calculations, etc.) or previously approved loading conditions8What is type 3 Stability Software on a Loading instrument?Type 3Software calculating intact stability and damage stability by direct application of pre-programmed damage cases for each loading condition (for some tankers etc.)9Which ships are required to carry a Loading instrument?10What is a passive Calculation system of a Loading instrument?A passive system requires manual data entry,11What is an active Calculation system of a Loading instrument?An active system replaces the manual entry with sensors reading and entering the contents of tanks, etc.,12What is an integrated Calculation system of a Loading instrument?A third system, an integrated system, controls or initiates actions based on the sensor- supplied inputs.PART BUnit 16MarksAngle of heel when turning, Wind heeling1Explain the operational conditions that affects Turning ability.Operational conditions that affects Turning abilityOnce operational and a vessel has reason to perform a tight turn, e.g. Man Overboard, it should be realized that a deep laden vessel will experience little effect from wind or sea conditions, while a vessel in a light ballast condition, may experience considerable leeway with strong winds prevailing.Another feature exists with a vessel that is trimmed by the stern. She will generally steer more easily, but the tactical diameter of a turn could be expected to decrease; while a vessel trimmed by the head will still decrease the size of the circle, but will be more difficult to steer.Should the vessel be carrying a list at the time of conducting the circle, the completion time could expect to be delayed. Also, turning towards the list would expect to generate a larger turning circle than turning away from the list side, bearing in mind that a vessel tends to heel in towards the direction of the turn, once helm is applied.It should also be realized that a ship turning with an existing list and not in an upright condition, especially in a shallow depth, could experience an increase in draught. Such a situation could also result in reduced buoyancy under the low side causing a degree of sinkage to take place. This increase in draught would not be enhanced if the turning action was also being conducted at high speed.2State the Environmental Conditions those are required for turning circle maneuver’?Environmental Conditions required for turning circle maneuverIMO prescribes the maximum environmental condition for carrying out the manoeuvring trials as follows:1. WindThe trials should not be conducted with a true wind speed greater than Beaufort 5 (19 knots). 2. WavesThe trials should be carried out in sea states less than 4. This means that the significant wave height should be less than about 1.90 meter, with most probable peak periods of about 8.8 seconds.3. CurrentsNo specific information on current limitations is given.Wind, waves and currents can significantly affect the ship manoeuvrability. However, the IMO suggests a method to account for environmental effects during turning tests only.The effect of the current velocity on the path of a ship during turning circles is shown in figure. This type of figures can be used to obtain some information on current velocity and direction.3State the ‘Manoeuvring Standards’ required for turning circle manoeuvres.Manoeuvring StandardsThe standard manoeuvres should be performed without the use of any manoeuvring aids which are not continuously and readily available in normal operation.Conditions at which the standards apply In order to evaluate the performance of a ship, manoeuvring trials should be conducted to both port and starboard and at conditions specified below:deep, unrestricted water; (IMO standards require that the water depth should exceed four times the mean draft of the ship.)calm environment;full load (summer load line draught), even keel condition; and steady approach at the test speed.4With a neat diagramme explain ‘Transfer’, ‘Tactical diameter’ and ‘Turning Radius’.Transfer is the distance travelled by the centre of gravity of the ship in a direction perpendicular to the original heading of the ship to the position at which the heading has changed 90° from the original course.Tactical diameter is the distance travelled by the centre of gravity of a ship from the position at which the rudder order is given to the position at which the heading has changed 180° from the original course. It is measured in a direction perpendicular to the original heading of the ship. Steady turning circle radius is the steady radius of the turning circle when a steady rate of turn is achieved. This state is usually achieved by the time the ship has altered course between 90? and 180? however this will vary from ship to ship5A ship heels 15° as it makes a turn. If the Draft when upright is 6 m calculate the Draft when heeled given that the breadth is 10m.Draught when heeled = (?Beam x Sine?) + (Upright draught x Cos?) Draught when heeled = (? x 10 x Sin 15°) + (6 x Cos 15°) 6A ship with a transverse metacentric height of 0.40 m has a speed of 21 kts. The centre of gravity is 6.2 m above keel whilst the centre of lateral resistance is 4.0 m above keel. The rudder is put hard over to port and the vessel turns in a circle of 550 m radius.7A ship with BG 2.2 m has a speed of 15 kts, GM 0.32m. The rudder is put hard over to port and the vessel turns in a circle of 300 m radius. Find the angle of heel due to turning.8A container ship has windage area of 12,000 m2 with its centre 15m above the COB. If displacement is 75,000t & GM 0.9m, calculate the angle of heel if it experiences a beam wind of 50 knots.9Describe the forces acting on the ship when turning.Forces acting on the ship when turningWhen the ship is making a turn, then apart of the propeller thrust and water resistance, also rudder force and transverse hydrodynamic force are active.Ship is moving along the curvilinear path with the centre at point O. The distance between the centre of curvature and the centre of gravity of the ship is radius of instantaneous turn.Ship's centreplane deviates from the tangent to the path of the centre of gravity by the drift angle. The line perpendicular to the ship's centreplane through the centre of rotation, marks pivot point (PP). At this point, there is no transverse velocity in turning; for the crew on board it appears that the ship rotates around this point. Transverse velocity is greatest at stern.10What are the assumptions taken with regards to ‘Severe wind and rolling criterion (weather criterion)’ of ‘Intact stability 2008’?AssumptionsThe ability of a ship to withstand the combined effects of beam wind and rolling is to be demonstrated for each standard condition of loading, with reference to the figure as follows:the ship is subjected to a steady wind pressure acting perpendicular to the ship's centreline which results in a steady wind heeling lever (lw1);from the resultant angle of equilibrium (?0), the ship is assumed to roll owing to wave action to an angle of roll (?1) to windward;the ship is then subjected to a gust wind pressure which results in a gust wind heeling lever (lw2);free surface effects are to be accounted for in the standard conditions of loading.Under the assumptions, the following criteria are to be complied with:the area "b" is to be equal to or greater than area "a", where:Area above the GZ curve and below lw2, between ?R and the intersection of lw2 with the GZ curveArea above the heeling lever lw2 and below the GZ curve, between the intersection of lw2 with the GZ curve and ?2.the angle of heel under action of steady wind (?0) is to be limited to 16° or 80% of the angle of deck edge immersion, whichever is less.11Derive the formulae to calculate heel due to beam wind.CALCULATING HEEL DUE TO BEAM WINDBeam winds cause a thrust, called windage, on above-water obstructions. The term ‘wind force’ is not used here as it can be confused with ‘Beaufort Wind Force’ as used in Meteorology. The term ‘Area of windage’ may be used to denote the area that results in windage.Windage is experienced by all ships, especially when in ballast when the freeboard is high. Container ships (with full stacks of boxes above deck), car carriers, cruise line ships, etc have a large windage area whether loaded or in ballast.P = 2(1O-5) Aw(Ws)2Where P = windage in tonnes Aw = Windage area in m2 Ws = Wind speed in knotsWind Heeling Moment = P.y tonne metresWind Heeling Lever = P.yW metresRighting Lever to counter this = GZ metresEquating above, GZ = P.yW metres For small angles, GZ = GM Sin?So P.y = W.GM Sin? or Sin? = P.yW.GM This formula can be used for calculating small values of angle of heel.6413538703250012A ship's speed is 12 knots. The helm is put hard over and the ship turns in a circle of radius 488 m. GM = 0.3 m and BG = 3 m. Assuming that 1 knot is equal to 1852km/hour, find heel due to turning.13A ship steaming at 10 knots turns in a circle of radius 366 m. GM = 0.24 m. BM = 3.7 m. Calculate the heel produced.14A ship turns in a circle of radius 100 m at a speed of 15 knots. BG = 1 m. Find the heel if the GM = 0.6 m.15A ship with a transverse metacentric height of 0.40 m has a speed of 21 kts. The centre of gravity is 6.2 m above keel whilst the centre of lateral resistance is 4.0 m above keel. The rudder is put hard over to port and the vessel turns in a circle of 550 m radius.Unit2Inclining experiment1Explain why there should be no significant tide during the Inclining experiment2On which occasions an Inclining Experiment and Lightweight Survey must be conducted?The Occasions when an Inclining Experiment and Lightweight Survey must be ConductedEvery passenger ship regardless of size and every cargo ship having a length of 24 m and upwards should be inclined upon its completion and the elements of its stability determined.Where any alterations are made to a ship so as to materially affect the stability, the ship should be re-inclined.At periodic intervals not exceeding five years, a light-weight survey should be carried out on all passenger ships to verify any changes in lightship displacement and longitudinal centre of gravity. The ship should be re-inclined whenever a deviation from the light-ship displacement exceeding 2% or a deviation of the longitudinal centre of gravity exceeding 1% of L is found, or anticipated.The Administration may allow the inclining test of an individual ship to be dispensed with provided basic stability data are available from the inclining test of a sister ship and it is shown to the satisfaction of the Administration that reliable stability information for the exempted ship can be obtained from such basic data.The Administration may allow the inclining test of an individual ship or class of ships especially designed for the carriage of liquids or ore in bulk to be dispensed with, when existing data for similar ships clearly indicates that, due to the ship's proportions and arrangements, more than sufficient metacentric height will be available in all probable loading conditions.The inclining test prescribed is adaptable for ships with a length below 24 m if special precautions are taken to ensure the accuracy of the test procedure.Annex 3 of the Code details a means of approximately determining the initial stability (GM) of small ships up to 70m in length by consideration of the rolling period.3List the items that are to be stowed in their normal seagoing positions during the Inclining experimentPreparations for the Inclining TestThe ship should be as complete as possible at the time of the test.There must be adequate depth of water to ensure that the ship will not contact the bottom during the inclination.The ship should be moored in a quiet, sheltered area free from external forces such as propeller wash from passing ships. The ship should be moored as to allow unrestricted heeling.There should be no significant tide. Any tide will prevent moorings from being maintained slack. If under-keel clearance is small the effect of squat may lead to erroneous draught readings. Ideally the experiment should be conducted in a sheltered dock.All temporary material and equipment such as toolboxes, staging, welding equipment etc. should be removed. All fittings and equipment such as accommodation ladders, lifeboats and derricks/cranes should be stowed in their normal seagoing positions.All tanks should be verified as being completely empty or full. The number of slack tanks should be kept to an absolute minimum and their FSC accurately determined.Ideally tanks with rectangular free surfaces should only be slack so that the free surface effect can be accurately determined. Slack tanks must have the contents accurately determined with respect to liquid mass and Kg.Decks should be free of water. Any water trapped on deck will move during the test and reduce the accuracy of the result. Snow and ice must also be removed.Her draft should be such that abrupt changes will not occur in her water plane, when inclined.An accurate list is to be made of any items of weight yet to be placed onboard and those to be removed from the ship together with their KG and LCG.4Derive the inclining experiment formula to calculate KG with suitable diagrammeDerivation of the inclining experiment formulaPrior to starting the experiment the ship must be exactly upright to ensure that the centre of gravity, G, is on the centre line. Figure shows that if a known weight is then shifted transversely across the deck through a certain distance in metres, G will move off the centre line to GH, causing the ship to list.The distance GGH is calculated by the formula: GGH = wxdW ----------(1)If a plumb line is suspended at O such that it crosses a batten at X, then as the ship lists a deflection XY will be observed and can be measured.Triangles MGGH and OXY are similar.In triangle MGGH :Tan ? = OPPADJ = GGHGMIn triangle OXY: Tan ? = OPPADJ = XYOXTherefore: GGHGM = XYOXSo Tan? = GGHGM = Deflection?of?the?pendulumPendulum?lengthRearranging this gives: GM = GGHxPendulum?lengthDeflection?of?the?pendulum -----(2)Combining formulae (1) and (2) gives: GM = w?x?d?xPendulum?lengthWxDeflection?of?the?pendulumIf there is no slack tanks at the time of inclining, the GM in the inclined condition will be a solid GM.then the KG as inclined = KM - GMIf there were slack tanks at the time of inclining, the GM in the inclined condition will be a fluid GM. then the KGF as inclined = KM - GMKM is obtained from the ship’s hydrostatic data for the true mean draught as calculated from the observed draughts.5Write short note on the pendulum, used in the Inclining experiment6Write short note on the necessity to determine the value of light ship KG?Precaution necessary when conducting the inclining test11. As an alternative to the use of inclining weights, water ballast transfer may be carried out, if acceptable to the Administration. This method will be more appropriate on very large ships.12. The use of three pendulums (but no less than two) is recommended, one forward, one midships and one aft to allow bad readings at any one station to be identified. 13. The pendulum wire should be piano-wire and the top connection should allow unrestricted rotation at the pivot point (a washer with the pendulum wire attached suspended from a nail would suffice). The pendulum weight should be suspended in a trough of hydraulic oil to dampen movement. The pendulums should be long enough to give a measured deflection to each side of upright of at least 15 cm. This will require a pendulum length of at least 3 metres. Usually, the longer the pendulum the greater the accuracy of the test; however, if excessively long pendulums are used on a tender ship the pendulums may not settle down and the accuracy of the readings will be questionable. The pendulums should be located as far apart as practicable and should be protected from wind. Unit 3Dry docking and grounding1Derive the formula to calculate ‘Loss of GM’ as a Result of a Fall in ‘M’ with suitable diagramme2Explain the following statement: ‘The greater the trim when dry-docking, the greater is the required GM before entering the dry-dock’3M.V. VIJAY enters a SW drydock drawing 3 m fwd& 5.2 m aft. KG 9 m. Calculate the force 'P' at the critical instant4A ship of 6000 tonnes displacement enters a drydock trimmed 0.3 m by the stern. KM = 7.5 m, KG = 6 m and MCTC = 90 tonnes m. The centre of flotation is 45 m from after perpendicular. Find the effective metacentric height at the critical instant.5A ship of 5000 tonnes displacement enters a drydock on an even keel. KM = 6 m, KG = 5.5 m and TPC = 50 tonnes. Find the virtual loss of meta-centric height after the ship has taken the blocks and the water has fallen another 0.24 m.6A ship of 5000 tonnes displacement enters a drydock trimmed 0.45 m by the stern. KM = 7.5 m, KG = 6.0 m and MCTC = 120 tonnes m. The centre of flotation is 60 m from aft. Find the effective metacentric height at the criticalinstant, assuming that the KM is 7.575m at the critical instant.7A ship being drydocked has a displacement of 1500 tonnes. TPC = 5 tonnes, KM = 3.5 m, GM = 0.5 m, and has taken the blocks fore and aft at 3 m draft. Find the GM when the water level has fallen another 0.6 m.8A ship of 8000 tonnes displacement takes the ground on a sand bank on a falling tide at an even keel draft of 5.2 metres, KG 4.0 metres. The predicted depth of water over the sand bank at the following low water is 3.2 metres. Calculate the GM at this time assuming that the KM will then be 5.0 metres and that the mean TPC is 15 tonnes.9A ship of 6000 tonnes displacement is 120 m long and is trimmed 1 m by the stern. KG = 5.3 m, GM = 0.7 m and MCTC = 90 t m. Is it safe to dry-dock the ship in this condition? (Assume that the centre of flotation is amidships.)10A box-shaped vessel 150 m long, 10 m beam and 5 m deep, has a mean draft in salt water of 3 m and is trimmed 1m by the stern, KG = 3.5 m. State whether it is safe to drydock this vessel in this condition.Unit 4Bilging1Discuss the Added weight method and lost buoyancy (constant displacement) method used in Bilging calculations.2During Bilging calculations how you will choose between the Added weight method and lost buoyancy (constant displacement) method?The two methods of calculation will give identical answers for the final draughts, trim and righting moment. Despite giving different values for GM (and GML), when the GM values are allied to the appropriate displacement value for the damaged condition they will give equal values of righting moment; remembering that the righting moment is the true measure of a vessels initial stability and not GM alone!The lost buoyancy (constant displacement) approach is considered more appropriate when the damage is extensive and the floodwater is very much part of the sea. Because damage stability legislation assumes worst case scenarios. all damaged stability calculations are conducted using this method. The added weight method may be considered more appropriate when the breach of the hull is small and the floodwater is more contained so that the effect of the water introduced is the same as that if it were introduced into an intact ship. Pumps may be able to limit the amount of water admitted and a level below the external waterline may be maintained. 3Explain how water-plane area is calculated for an amidships compartment extending the full breadth of the vessel is bilged. Permeability 25%.4Prove the following: If KM changes and KG is assumed to remain constant, any change in KM will be the same as the change in GMWe must now consider the change in the vessel’s initial stability. Consider the change in effective water plane area in figure In this case the part of water plane area of the bilged compartment has been lost. Since:BM= IV? and for a box-shaped vessel: BMBOX = LB312VBM will reduce directly as a result of the reduced water plane area. V, the volume of displacement of the vessel, has not changed, since if displacement remains constant; so does the volume of displacement. In addition, because the draught has increased due to the sinkage, KB will increase. KB = Draught2This is still valid for the bilged condition since the KB of each of the end compartments will be the same. Since: KM = KB + BM; it is most probable that KM will change as a result of the increasing KB and the decreasing BM; the changes in both unlikely to be the same.If KM changes and KG is assumed to remain constant, any change in KM will be the same as the change in GM, being either an increase or decrease.5A box shaped vessel is floating on an even keel in salt water and has the following particulars:Length 220.00 m,Breadth 30.00 m,Draft 12.80 m. KG 9.50 mThere is an empty amidships watertight compartment of 16.00 m length that extends the full width of the vessel.Calculate the Draft if this compartment becomes bilged.6A box-shaped vessel, length 100 m, breadth 20 m, depth 8 m is on an even keel Draft of 4.00 m in SW and has a KG of 4.00 m. An empty amidships DB tank, length 25 m, breadth 20 m and depth 1.00 m is bilged. Calculate the new Draft.7A box-shapped vessel, length 200 m, breadth 20 m, depth 14 m is on an even keel Draft in SW of 8.00 m with a KG of 6.00 m. An empty amidships deep tank, length 25 m, breadth 20 m extending from the bottom shell to a height of 8.5 m above the keel is bilged. Calculate the final Draft.8A box shaped vessel 110m long & 16m wide floats in SW at 4m even keel draft. An empty central compartment 16m long & 10m wide is bilged. Calculate the KM before and after bilging9Explain with suitable diagrammes, the procedure to calculate the list when an amidships side compartment is bilgedConsider a box-shaped vessel with side compartments amidships as in the above figure. F is the centre of flotation initially on the centre line. The vessel is floating upright on an even keel when a side compartment becomes bilged. The volume of buoyancy lost is shown.The vessel will sink to regain the buoyancy lost. Figure below illustrates the shape of the buoyancy gained. Because the water plane area has changed shape the centre of flotation moves off the centre line of the vessel (F to F,). This causes the axis of rotation of the water plane area to move off the centre line as already discussed.Figure shows the vessel after it has experienced sinkage but before it lists.The transfer of the volume of buoyancy (b to bi) causes thea centre of buoyancy, B, to move off the centre line (and upwards) to B1 The horizontal component of this shift creates the listing lever, which is equal to GX.The vessel will now list over to the bilged sideTan?LIST =OPPADJ = GXXM = BBHXM Where XM is the GM in the bilged condition.Because of the symmetry of a box-shaped vessel BBH is equal to the movement of the centre of flotation off the centre line (FF1) that is found by taking moments of area of the water plane area about one edge.Therefore: Tan?LIST = ?BBHGMBILGED?Note: When calculating list arising from the loading, discharging or shifting of weights the formula:Tan?LIST = ?GGH?GM is used.In this instance, GGH is the cause of the list, which represents the distance that the centre of gravity of the ship is off the centre line at the time for which the list is being calculated.When calculating the list caused by the bilging of a side compartment the formula:Tan?LIST = ?BBHGMBILGEDHere the list is being caused by the horizontal component of the movement of the centre of buoyancy and the GM is that which applies to the vessel s damaged condition.10Explain with suitable diagrammes, the procedure to calculate the Drafts when an end compartment becomes bilged11Explain with suitable diagrammes, the procedure to calculate the draft when an extreme end compartment with a watertight flat (100% permeability) is bilged12Explain with suitable diagrammes, the procedure to calculate the righting moment, when an amidships compartment extending the full breadth and depth of the vessel becomes bilged13Explain with suitable diagrammes, the procedure to calculate the change in GM when an empty amidships compartment with a watertight flat (double bottom) is bilged.14Explain with suitable diagrammes, the procedure to calculatethe moment of inertia of a water plane area of a box-shaped vessel with a bilged side compartment.15Explain with suitable diagrammes, the procedure to calculate the change in GM whena Filled DB tank is Bilged.Explain with suitable diagrammes, the procedure to calculate the change in GM whena Centralised DB tank is Bilged.Unit 5Shear Forces and Bending Moments in ships1State the SOLAS regulation regarding ‘Loading instrument’.Regulation 11Loading instrument(Unless provided otherwise, this regulation applies to bulk carriers regardless of their date of construction)Bulk carriers of 150 m in length and upwards shall be fitted with a loading instrument capable of providing information on hull girder shear forces and bending moments, taking into account the recommendation adopted by the Organization.Bulk carriers of 150 m in length and upwards constructed before 1 July 1999 shall comply with the requirements of paragraph 1 not later than the date of the first intermediate or periodical survey of the ship to be carried out after 1 July 1999.Bulk carriers of less than 150 m in length constructed on or after 1 July 2006 shall be fitted with a loading instrument capable of providing information on the ship’s stability in the intact condition.

For our purposes this definition of shear force can be modified to read as being the area under the load curve to the left of the point in question.Therefore; SF at AP - 0 tonnes (since there is no area to the left of the AP under the curve!)Placing a sheet of paper over the curve and moving it to the right at 5 metre intervals, calculate the net area to the left of the edge of the sheet for each point in question.SF at 5 m foap (forward of After Perpendicular) = 2t/m x 5m=10 tonnes.Now calculate the SF value at 10 m foap (by moving the paper further to the right and revealing more of the curve to the left.SF at 10 m foap = 2 t/m x 10 m = 20 tonnes.SF at 15 m foap (Bulkhead 3/2) = 2 t/m x 15 m = 30 tonnes.At 20 m foap there is area revealed above and below the baseline and this is treated as positive and negative as per the load scale.SF at 20 m foap =(2 t/m x 15 m) + (-4 t/m x 5 m) = 10 tonnes.Continuing with this method gives:SF at amidships (22.5 m foap) = (2t/m x 15 m) + (-4 t/m x 7.5 m) = 0 t SF at 25 m foap = (2 t/m x 15 m) + (-4 t/m x 10 m) =-10 tonnes.SF at 30 m foap (bulkhead 2/1) = (2 t/m x 15 m) +(-4 t/m x 15 m) = -30 t SF at 35 m foap = (2t/m x 15 m) + (-4 t/m x 15 m) + (2 t/m x 5 m) = -20t SF at 40 m foap - (2 t/m x15 m)+ (-4 t/m x15 m) + (2 t/m x 10 m) = -10t SF at 45 m foap = (2t/m x 15 m) + (-4 t/m x 15 m) + (2 t/m x 15 m) = 0From AP(m)0510152022.52530354045SF(t)0102030100-10-30-20-1009Explainthe procedure to calculate BM values from SF curve with suitable diagrammeProducing the Curve of Bending MomentsThe bending moment values are calculated in exactly the same way as the shear force values, by considering the areas under the shear force curve to the left of the position in question.The area of a triangle is given by:Area = ? Base x Perpendicular heightArea of a trapezium is given by: Area = (a+b)2 x baseThe bending moment values are calculated as follows:BM at AP= 0 tonnes (since there is no area to the left of the AP under the SF curve!)Placing a sheet of paper over the curve and moving to the right as far as the first bulkhead position (Bulkhead 3/2), calculate the areas as before.BM 5 m foap = ? x 5 m x10t = 25 t-m BM 10 m foap =? x10mx20t = 100 t-mBM 15 m foap (bulkhead3/2) = ? x 15 m x 30t = 225 t-mOnce past bulkhead 3/2 it is necessary to consider the area of a trapezium formed by the area under the shear force curve to the right of the bulkhead as seen in the figure.BM 20 m foap = 225 + (30t?+?10t)2 x 5m)=325 t-m BM at amidships (22.5 m foap) = ? x 22.5 x 30 = 337.51 mBM at 25 m foap = 337.5 t-m + (? x 2.5 m x -10t) = 325 t-m(Since we know the area from 0 to 22.5 m foap, being 337.5t-m)BM at 30 m foap (bulkhead 2/1) = 337.5 + (? x 7.5 m x -30 t) = 225 t-m BM at 35 m foap = 225 + (-30t?+?-20t)2?x 5 m) = 100 t-m (Since we know the area from 0 to 30 m foap, being 225 t-m)BM at 40 m foap = 225 + (-30t?+?-10t)2?x10 m) = 25t-m BM at FP = 0 t-mFrom AP(m)0510152022.52530354045BM(t-m)025100225325337.532522510025010Sketch a load curve, a shear force curve and bending moment curve to same scale showing the places of maximum values of shear force and bending moment11A box shaped vessel has L = 100 m, B = 20 m and floats at a Draft of 4.0 m when light in FW.

Or(b) Describe any one type of ‘active system’ methods Adopted to Minimise a Ship’s Rolling Motion at Sea with suitable diagrammes.BILGE KEELBilge keels form the simplest method of controlling roll. They consist of narrow steel strips extending along a portion of the length of the hull. Bilge keels are employed in pairs (one for each side of the ship). Bilge keels increase the hydrodynamic resistance when a vessel rolls, thus limiting the amount of roll a vessel has to endure.Bilge keels should be fitted throughout the length of the parallel mid-body of the ship at the turn of the bilge. Roll amplitudes may be reduced by up to 35% and are therefore a very cost-effective means of limiting roll amplitude.Bilge keels should always be fitted to ships having a large well-rounded bilge radius, whereas ships having a more square bilge shape will be more resistant to rolling.They are mounted at the turn of the keel and project no further than the breadth and depth of the ship thereby preventing contact damage.They are attached to the hull by a relatively weak joint, such as riveting to a second fixing which is welded to the hull, or by stitch welding allowing the keel to be torn off without further hull damage. Size of bilge keels depend upon the ship.The web should not be so deep so as to sustain damage due to force of water during rolling.In addition the ends of the keel should be tapered or well-rounded so that they blend smoothly with the lines of the hull, this reduces eddies which could lead to vibration and/or erosion damage.15240104457500Active Systems(These include active tank systems and stabilising fins.)Active tanksThese tanks have a positive means of directing water to one side or the other. There are two tanks, one each side of the ship and the level of water is controlled by a pump or pumps acting in response to a gyro controlled roll sensing system. In the systems illustrated in the figure, water is distributed so that the greatest quantity will be in the tank on the high side at the extent of the roll.(a) Water is pumped from one tank to the other so as to keep the greater quantity in the higher tank.(b) This system is similar to (a) but each tank has its own pump to add and remove water from the tank as the ship rolls.(c) Water level is controlled indirectly by means of air pressure above the water in each tank, the tanks are open to the sea at the bottom.2(a)With a neat diagramme explain advance, transfer, tactical diameter, steady turning diameter, Tactical diameter angle and Yaw. Or(b)Draw and label the turning circle diagramme displayed in the bridge.Advance is the distance travelled in the direction of the original course by the centre of gravity of a ship from the position at which the rudder order is given to the position at which the heading has changed 90° from the original course.Transfer is the distance travelled by the centre of gravity of the ship in a direction perpendicular to the original heading of the ship to the position at which the heading has changed 90° from the original course.Tactical diameter is the distance travelled by the centre of gravity of a ship from the position at which the rudder order is given to the position at which the heading has changed 180° from the original course. It is measured in a direction perpendicular to the original heading of the ship.Steady turning circle radius is the steady radius of the turning circle when a steady rate of turn is achieved. This state is usually achieved by the time the ship has altered course between 90? and 180? however this will vary from ship to ship.Yaw is the angle between the ship’s fore and aft line and the direction of travel of the ship’s centre of gravity at any instant during the turn.8890295910003(a)Derive the formula to calculate the angle of heel when turning with suitable diagrams.

Fluctuations in a ship's lightweight over a period of timeOver the years in service, there will be increases in the lightweight due to:Accretion of paintwork. Formation of oxidation or rust.Build up of cargo residue. Sediment in bottom of oil tanks. Mud in bottom of ballast tanks. Dunnage.Gradual accumulation up of rubbish. Lashing material.Retrofits on accommodation fittings and in navigational aids.Barnacle attachment or animal growth on the shell plating.Vegetable growth on shell plating.Additional engine room spares.Each item in the above list will change the weight of an empty ship. It can also be accumulative. One example of increase in lightweight over a period of years is the 'Herald of Free Enterprise,' which capsized in 1987. At the time of capsize it was shown that the lightweight had increased by 270t, compared to when newly built.Regular dry-docking of the ship will decrease the animal and vegetable growth on the shell plating. It has been known to form as much as 5 cm of extra weight around the hull.Regular tank-cleaning programmes will decrease the amount of oil sediment and mud in the bottom of tanks. Regular routine inspections should also decrease the accumulation of rubbish.Over years in service, there will also be decreases in the lightweight due to:Oxidation or corrosion of the steel shell plating, and steel decks exposed to the sea and to the weather. Wear and tear on moving parts.Galvanic corrosion at localities having dissimilar metals joined together.Corrosion and loss of weight is prevalent and vulnerable in the boot topping area of the side-shell of a vessel, especially in way of the machinery spaces. Feedback has shown that the sideshell thickness can decrease over the years from being 18 mm thickness to being only 10 mm in thickness. This would result in an appreciable loss of weight.Wear and tear occurs on structures such as masts and derricks, windlass, winches, hawse pipes and capstans.These additions and reductions will all have their own individual centres of gravity and moments of weight. The result will be an overall change in the lightweight itself, plus a new value for the KG corresponding to this new lightweight.It has been documented that the lightweight of a vessel can amount to an average addition of 0.5% of the lightweight for each year of the ship's life. The above indicate that sometimes the lightweight will increase, for example due to plate renewal or animal and vegetable growth. Other times it will decrease, for example due to wear and tear or build up of corrosion. There will be fluctuations. It would seem judicial to plan for an inclining experiment perhaps every 5 years. This will re-establish for the age of the ship exactly the current lightweight. Or(b)Explain the precautions necessary when conducting the inclining experiment?Precaution necessary when conducting the inclining testThe ship must be upright at the commencement of the testThe ship’s trim should be such that the deviation from her designed trim does not exceed 1% of L.Moorings should be slack and any shore side gangways landed to allow unrestricted heeling.Excess crew and personnel not directly involved in the test should be sent ashore.There must be no significant wind, especially on the beam, which might cause the ship to heel. Access ramps should be removed and power lines hoses etc. connected to shore should be minimized.It is recommended that at least five freeboard readings approximately equally spaced on each side of the ship be taken or that all draught marks (forward, aft and amidships) be read on each side of the ship to determine her displacement accurately.The mean value of specific gravity of the water should be obtained accurately by taking water samples forward, midships and aft, at a sufficient depth.The test weight used should be compact such that their VCGs can be accurately determined. Their weight to be recoded. Ideally, six equal weights are placed on deck, three on each side, at measured equal distances off the centre line. The mass of the inclining weight(s) used should be sufficient to provide a minimum list of 1° and a maximum list of 4° to each side. This is to ensure that the formula: Tan ?LIST = GGHGM remains valid, being applicable to small angles of inclination only. 11. As an alternative to the use of inclining weights, water ballast transfer may be carried out, if acceptable to the Administration. This method will be more appropriate on very large ships.12. The use of three pendulums (but no less than two) is recommended, one forward, one midships and one aft to allow bad readings at any one station to be identified. 13. The pendulum wire should be piano-wire and the top connection should allow unrestricted rotation at the pivot point (a washer with the pendulum wire attached suspended from a nail would suffice). The pendulum weight should be suspended in a trough of hydraulic oil to dampen movement. The pendulums should be long enough to give a measured deflection to each side of upright of at least 15 cm. This will require a pendulum length of at least 3 metres. Usually, the longer the pendulum the greater the accuracy of the test; however, if excessively long pendulums are used on a tender ship the pendulums may not settle down and the accuracy of the readings will be questionable. The pendulums should be located as far apart as practicable and should be protected from wind. 2(a)Explain the Preparations necessary for the Inclining experiment Preparations for the Inclining TestThe ship should be as complete as possible at the time of the test.There must be adequate depth of water to ensure that the ship will not contact the bottom during the inclination.The ship should be moored in a quiet, sheltered area free from external forces such as propeller wash from passing ships. The ship should be moored as to allow unrestricted heeling.There should be no significant tide. Any tide will prevent moorings from being maintained slack. If under-keel clearance is small the effect of squat may lead to erroneous draught readings. Ideally the experiment should be conducted in a sheltered dock.All temporary material and equipment such as toolboxes, staging, welding equipment etc. should be removed. All fittings and equipment such as accommodation ladders, lifeboats and derricks/cranes should be stowed in their normal seagoing positions.All tanks should be verified as being completely empty or full. The number of slack tanks should be kept to an absolute minimum and their FSC accurately determined.Ideally tanks with rectangular free surfaces should only be slack so that the free surface effect can be accurately determined. Slack tanks must have the contents accurately determined with respect to liquid mass and Kg.Decks should be free of water. Any water trapped on deck will move during the test and reduce the accuracy of the result. Snow and ice must also be removed.Her draft should be such that abrupt changes will not occur in her water plane, when inclined.An accurate list is to be made of any items of weight yet to be placed onboard and those to be removed from the ship together with their KG and LCG.Or(b)Explain the Inclining experiment procedure in detail with suitable diagrammeInclining experiment procedureThe initial position of the pendulum is noted against each batten. Using a shore crane, one weight is shifted port to starboard and the deflection noted on each pendulum. A second weight is shifted port to starboard and the deflection on the pendulums noted again. The third weight is also then shifted port to starboard and the deflection of each pendulum noted. All the three shifted weights are then returned to their original position on the port side and the deflection, if any, on the pendulums noted. This entire procedure is then repeated with the three weights from the starboard side.The standard test employs eight distinct weight movements. A plot is then made with the heeling moment (w x d) on the X axis and tan ? (deflection/length of plumb line) on the Y axis. The plot of all readings on each pendulum should lie on a straight line. If a straight-line plot is not achieved, those weight movements that did not give an acceptable plot must be repeated. By taking moments about the keel, allowance is then made for any weights on board, including the inclining weights, which do not form part of the light ship, equipment those are yet to fitted and FSM if any, to obtain her ‘Light ship KG’.As well as calculating the lightship displacement and KG, draught and trim readings at the time of the experiment will be used to determine the ship’s longitudinal centre of gravity for the inclining condition. This will then be corrected by calculation to obtain the true lightship LCG.On completion of the test a report will be written and included as part of the ship’s stability data book.3(a)M.V.
