1. A vessel is to transit a canal with a minimum clearance of 0.30m under a bridge, the
underside of which is 20.24m above the waterline.
Present draughts in FW (RD 1.000): Forward 5.22m Aft 6.38m
The foremast is 112m FOAP and extends 25.92m above the keel.
The aft mast is 37m FOAP and extends 26.94m above the keel.
(Assume masts are perpendicular to the waterline throughout)
Using the Stability Data Booklet, calculate EACH of the following:
(a) The final draughts forward and aft in order to pass under the bridge with
minimum clearance;
(b) The minimum weight of ballast to load in order to pass under the bridge with
minimum clearance.

2. A vessel is planning to enter dry-dock in dock water of relative density 1.015.

Present draughts: Forward 3.00m Aft 3.80m KG 10.50m
a) Using the Stability Data Booklet, calculate the maximum trim at which the vessel
can enter dry-dock so as to maintain a GM of at least 0.10m at the critical instant.
Assume KM remains constant.
b) Explain why it is beneficial to have a small stern trim when entering dry-dock.

Reqd. Trim = 220.8 x 70.21

b) It is beneficial to have a small stern trim when entering dry-dock because this allows:
1)
2)
3)
4)
A more gradual transfer of weight and thus a more gradual reduction in stability.
The vessels stern to be used as a pivot to align the keel along the blocks.
Some of the shores to be positioned early, working from aft to forward.
The stern frame is specially strengthened to accept the forces exerted on it during drydocking but there will be a maximum limit that must not be exceeded. If the P force
becomes too great, structural damage will occur.
5) Greater the trim, greater the P force and greater loss of GM.
Therefore a slight stern trim is beneficial.
3. A vessels loaded particulars in salt water are as follows:

and rust in ballast tanks (un-pumpables)
Various stores remaining unconsumed might add to the constant.
Any structural changes will affect the light ship KG and light ship displacement

Lightship KG for a passenger vessel will change considerably over a period of time
mainly because of the left over baggage etc. will accumulate over a period of time
and add to the constant considerably.

(c) Calculate the new maximum draught during the turn in Q3 (b), assuming the
amidships cross-section can be considered rectangular.
(a) To turn a ship the rudder is turned and this causes a force to act on the ship towards the
centre of the turn. This is the centripetal force and it acts at the ships centre of lateral
resistance which is assumed to be at the centroid of the underwater volume (B).
The inertia of the vessel resists this change of direction with an equal and opposite force
which acts at the ships centre of gravity (G) termed as the centrifugal force.

b) The drydock cannot be flooded with the vessel in this condition as her GM is negative. It is
necessary to take adequate measures to ensure that the vessel has sufficient positive stability
at the critical instant during un-docking.
There are two options available (or a combination of both) to attain sufficient positive
stability prior to un-docking:
Reduce the vessels KG by taking in ballast or loading deadweight items below VCG
or remove deadweight items above VCG.
Reduce the vessels trim by removing deadweight items aft of the vessels LCG or
by adding deadweight items forward of the vessels LCG.

Calculate trim & AMD

Calculate LCF & TMD

= 18119 + (240 x 0.02)

= 206.4 + (1.3 x 0.02)

= 69.36 (0.05 x 0.02)

Calculate Initial LCG

= 18167 x (69.35 LCG)

Calculate Longitudinal Moments about the LCG

Final LCG = 68.33m FOAP

Longitudinal Moments (tm)

SQA Stability November 2005

= 8.40 + (179 x 0.10)

= 200.1 + (179 x 1.3)

= 69.40 (179 x 0.04)

= 66.02 (179 x 0.07)

Calculate change of trim

= 17709 x (69.37 68.33)

= 91.130 cms = 0.911 m by stern
