Inclining Experiment: - by Exp KG available & with KG, GM is found.to determine the metacentric height, and hence the height of the centre ofgravity. When the centre of gravity of the ship is known at the empty conditionthen at any condition of loading this can be interpolated.The experiment commenced with the ship upright. A small mass of m is movedacross the through a distance d. This causes the G to move from the originalposition G to G1.If = displacement of the ship thenGG1= m x d

The ship then heel to an angle and B moves B1 in the same vertical line as G1 butvertical through B1 intersect the centreline at M transverse MetacentreGG1=GM tan = m x d

GM= m x d tan

To determine the angle of heel it is necessary to suspend a pendulum say underside of the hatch. The deflection of the bob of the pendulum, say a, which ischanged when the mass is moved. Length of the pendulum is say l then tan =a/lGM = m x d x l

x a

The height of the transverse metacentre above the keel may be found from themetacentric diagram and hence the height of the centre of gravity of the ship maybe determinedKG = KM - GM

Bonjean Curve Draft Vs under Water Area of various Transverse Stations

Angle of Heel: - Due to an External factor. Wind, wavesAngle of List: - Due to an Internal Factor. Internal weight shift

Angle to which the ship will heel with a constant beam wind.= angle of larch

Angle of Lurch: - If the negative GM ship is slowly released from upright, it willslowly approach the angle of loll. However, if the ship is released suddenly, which isnormally the case when GM becomes negative suddenly; the vessel will quickly heelover by-passing the angle of loll to another angle called the angle of lurch. If itexceeds angle of vanishing ship will capsize. Angle of righting Moment = Angle ofHeeling Moment

Angle of Down flooding: - angle at which the free board deck touches sea.Progressive flooding

Angle of Vanishing: - the angle at which ship loses her stability in total

Angle of Repose : - safe cargo stowing angle to avoid sudden shifting

25

LOOSE WATER - Loose Water is the shifting of liquid from side to side as a shiprolls. Water that partially fills a compartment, as a result of underwater damage,drainage, or fire fighting, is Loose Water.

FREE SURFACE EFFECT - Liquid that only partially fills a compartment is said tohave a free surface, that tends to remain horizontal (parallel to the waterline).When the ship is inclined, the liquid flows to the lower side (in the direction ofinclination), increasing the inclining moment

Angle of Loll: - initial unstable ship will not be upright. While heeling oneside, the angle at which the G & B coincides in neutral equilibrium. If GZ=0then angle of Equilibrium = angle of loll

LIST CAUSED BY NEGATIVE GMWhen a ship's center of gravity moves vertically upwards and slightly above theMetacentre, the ship will develop a list (or possibly capsize.) The vessel may also"flop" over, developing the same list to the other side.

Possible Causes1.Removal of low weight2.Addition of high weight (ice, volcanic ash)3.Moving weight upward4.Free Surface Effect5.Free Communication Effect

How to Recognize1.Vessel will not remain upright and will assume a list to either port orstarboard.2.Vessel "flops" to port or starboard.3.Vessel will have a very long, slow roll period about the angle of list.4.A small GM is known to exist, plus any of the above.

Corrective Measures1.Eliminate Free Surface and Free Communication Effects.2.Add low weight symmetrically about centerline.3.Remove high weight symmetrically.4.Shift weight down symmetrically.

26

LIST CAUSED BY OFF-CENTER WEIGHT AND NEGATIVE GM

The vessel's stability is reduced by both an increase in the height of the center ofgravity and movement from centerline. A negative GM condition exists, representedby the "uncorrected" curve. An off-center weight, represented by the cosine curve,is added and a larger list develops.Possible Causes ------ A combination of the previous causes of list.

*** ALWAYS correct Negative GM prior to shifting weights transversely

TO KNOW A SHIP IS UNDER ANGLE OF LOLL?How to Recognize1.Vessel will not remain upright and will assume a list to either port or starboard.2.Vessel "flops" to port or starboard.3.Vessel will have a very long, slow roll period about the angle of list.4.A small GM is known to exist, plus any of the above.

Indications of Negative GM1.Feel of the Ship: Logy, Sluggish.2.List with No Off-Center Weight.3.Flopping From Side to Side.4.Large Areas of FSE or FCE.5.Large Amounts of Added High Weight.6.If unsure, assume GM is negative!!

WHAT TO BE DONE FOR ANGLE OF LOLL.Corrective Measures1. Correct Negative GM first.a. Eliminate Free Surface and Free Communication Effects.b. Shift weight down, add weight low, or jettison weight high.2. Correct for Gravity Off Centerlinea. Add weight to higher sideb. Remove weight from lower sidec. Shift weight to higher sided. Jettison Top Side Weighte. Ballast LowTanksf. Shift Solid Weights Downg. Restore Flooding Boundaries

27

PARAMETRIC ROLLING OF A SHIP?The term parametric very intensive, beyond control, roll is used todescribe the phenomenon of large roll motion suddenly occurring in head orstern seas. Large roll angle quickly generated in head/stern or nearhead/stern sea conditions. Period is about half the natural roll period, occursin phase with large pitch angle. There are two pitch cycles for each roll cycleand maximum roll always occurs when the ship is pitched down. Due to itsviolent nature, the large accelerations associated with the onset ofparametric roll cause concern for the safety of container ships. Quiteunexpectedly, the roll angle can increase from a few degrees to over 30degrees in only a few cycles. On container ships, the violent motions couldintroduce extreme loads on containers and their securing systems, resultingfailures and lost of containers overboard. Possible consequences include lossof containers, machinery failure, structural damage, and even capsize.

WHAT IS SQUAT EFFECTThe property by virtue of which a vessel increases its original draft when she is inmotion is known as squat effect. Vessel displaces some quantity of the water to geta thrust for its motion and the displaced water taken from the sides and from theunder keel space and replenished regularly. Hence there exist a partial low pressureat the under keel space which increases the draft of the vessel. This increase indraft is quite prominent in shallow water as here exists a good resistance to theflow of water to the under keel space. Similar observation can be found in narrowchannels like lock gates where ship moves sideways.

Cross Curves Of Stability - The Cross Curves Of Stability (Displacement- GZcurve) are used to determine the length of the righting arm GZ at any angle ofinclination for a given displacement. Using the ship's displacement (from the DraftDiagram and Functions of Form) a statical stability curve for the ship can beconstructed.Cross curve of stability : X axis Displacement ,Vertical axis GZ (righting lever)Statical Stability curve : X axis Angle of inclination ,Ver axis GZ (righting lever)

28

To draw statical stability curve from cross curves of stability1.Enter the ships displacement along the horizontal axis.2.Draw a vertical line at the ship's displacement.3.The displacement line will cross each "angle of inclination" curve at variouspoints.4.The righting arm for each angle of inclination is read along the vertical axis5.Each righting arm is plotted at the corresponding angle of inclination on the"Statical Stability Curve Plotting Sheet" or on regular graph paper.

2. Probabilistic method

Deterministic Approach:In this approach the ships subdivision is based on the theoretical principles.It is based on standard dimension of damage extending anywhere along the shipslength or between transverse bulkheads depending on the relevant requirements1) The consequence of such standard of damage is the creation of a group ofdamage cases, the no. of which and as well as no. of compartments involved ineach case, depends on ships dimensions and internal sub-divisions.2) For each loading condition, each damage case is to be considered and allapplicable criteria are to be complied with.3) Different deterministic methods in damage stability have been developeddepending on ships type, on freeboard reduction and the kind of cargo carried.4) The deterministic method to be applied for passenger ships, oil tankers,chemical tankers, gas carriers and special purpose ships.5) The deterministic method to be applied in cases of free board reduction.

Probabilistic Approach:The probabilistic method applies to cargo ships of length more than 80 m and forwhich no deterministic method applies.1) The probabilistic method was devised in the year 1973.2) This showed a pattern in accidents which could be used in improving thedesign of the ships. For eg: Most damage was sustained in the forward part of theship hence it seemed logical, to improve the standards of subdivisions forwardrather than towards the stern.3) The probabilistic method is based on statistical evidence concerning whatactually happens when ships collide, in terms of sea state and weather conditions,extent and location of damage, speed and course of the ship and whether the shipsurvived or sank.4) Probabilistic concept is believed to be more realistic than deterministic5) It is based on three probabilities related to sub-division and damage stabilityrequirements:1) Probability that the ship may be damaged (Prob. of occurance)2) Probability as to the location of damage and extent of flooding Depends onarrangement of W/T sub-divisions which have a direct influence on the location andextent of hull damage.3) Probability to assess the ability of the ship to survive in flooded Situation(Probability of Survival)Depends on the buoyancy and stability in flooded conditionwhich will further depend on the following:-a) Location and extent of damageb) Permeability of flooded space

the probability of survival after collision as a measure of ship safety in damagedcondition, referred to as ATTAINED SUB-DIVISION INDEX A anda REQUIRED SUB-DIVISION INDEX R which is defined by IMO in terms ofpersons and size of vessel CriteriaATTAINED SUB-DIVISION INDEX (A) >REQUIRED SUB-DIVISION INDEX (R)

6) The damage stability calculations are performed for a limited no. of draftsand relevant GM values in order to draw a minimum GM curve, where the attainedsubdivision index A achieves the minimum required level of safety R.

7) For cargo ships, each case of damage is not required to comply with theapplicable criteria, but the attained index A, which is the sum of contribution of alldamage cases, is to be equal or greater than R.

The subdivision of a ship is considered sufficient if the attained subdivision index Ais greater than the required sub division index R.The partial indices As, Ap, Al should not be less than 0.9R for passenger ships and0.5R for cargo ships.

The attained sub division index A is obtained by the summation of the partialindices calculated for the drafts ds, dp & dl as per below formula.A = 0.4As + 0.4Ap + 0.2A1

Where ds = deepest sub division draftdp = partial sub division draftdl = light service draft

Each partial index is a summation of contribution of all damage cases taken intoconsideration using the below formulaWhere A = Pi x Sii = represents each compartment or group of compartment under considerationPi = accounts for probability that only the compartment or group of compartmentsunder consideration may be flooded disregarding horizontal sub-divisions.Si = accounts for the probability of survival after flooding of compartments or groupof compartments under consideration including effects of horizontal sub-divisions.

Required sub division index RThe degree of subdivision to be provided shall be determined by the required subdivision index R which is as follows:

For cargo ships greater than 100m in length (Ls)R = 1 - 128

Ls + 152Which is fixed for the ship as per the size and no of persons.

FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR CAPSIZING OF A VESSEL1.FSE Virtual reduction of GM as a result of the presence of a free surface.2.Shifting of cargo3.Nature of cargo hygroscopic, cargo behaves like liquid cargo, and sp. gravity

increases.4.Grounding- virtual rise of centre of gravity5.Synchronous rolling- when the swell wave period matches with the rolling period

of vessel, vessel will have no time to righting herself, before the next wavecomes into action.

6.Parametric rolling7.Drastic change in water plane area. Temporary flooding of deck.

Ship motions are defined by the six degrees of freedomHeave : is the linear vertical (up/down) motionSway : is the linear lateral (side-to-side) motionSurge : is the linear longitudinal (front/back) motionRoll : is when the vessel rotates about the longitudinal (front/back) axis.Pitch : is when the vessel rotates about the transverse (side-to-side) axis.Yaw : is when the vessel rotates about the vertical (up-down) axis.

SURVIVABILITY OF THE SHIPIf the ship lists to the Danger Angle ( the angle of maximum righting arm) within10-15 minutes after damage, the ship will probably capsize. If the ship lists pastthe angle of maximum righting arm, it will capsize. Under normal conditions(average wind and sea state,) the ship should survive damage which results in a listto the danger angle.

DCA (Damage Control Assistance) DECISION FACTORSDCA evaluates the overall situation and makes recommendations to theCommanding Officer based on the survivability of the ship. This includes:1. Determine the corrective measures which will improve the situation.2. If corrective measures will not improve the situation, inform the CO so he candecide whether to abandon ship.Four Major Considerations1. Ship's ability to extinguish fires and control flooding.2. Ship's ability to reach a safe haven.3. Ship's ability to float and remain upright.4. Ship's ability to stay in action and repel attack.Corrective MeasuresOnce initial recommendations have been given to the Commanding Officer, the DCAprioritizes the corrective measures.Step One: Establish Flooding Boundaries.Step Two: Dewater any space colored pink on the ships Flooding Effects Diagram.Step Three: Size up the situation. Determine if stability is critical before takingfurther action.There are four instances where stability is considered critical:1. GM is very small or slightly negativeIndications of Negative GMFeel of the Ship: Logy, Sluggish?List With No Off-Center Weight?Flopping From Side to Side?Large Areas of FSE or FCE?Large Amounts of Added High Weight?If unsure, assume GM is negative!!

Methods to Correct Excessive Trim (Greater than 1% LBP)Corrective MeasuresShift weight towards higher end (bow or stern);Add weight to higher end;Remove weight from lower end.

Methods to Relieve Hull Girder StressIndications of Excessive Hull StressesShip is in Hogging or Sagging condition as described in Section 4.5.Stress Fractures, Cracks, Panting Bulkheads, Sagging Decks and Stiffeners.Corrective Measures for Hull StressesFor Sagging condition: Remove weight amidships and ballast fore and aft.For Hogging condition remove weight fore and aft, and ballast amidships.Shore up panting bulkheads and decks. Reinforce (where possible) cracks andareas where structural failure has occurred.

THE USAGE OF SHIPS GT / NTThe gross tonnage and the net tonnage as determined in accordance with theprovisions of the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships,1969, should be accepted as the parameters referred to where those terms areused in conventions, laws and regulations, and also as the basis for statistical datarelating to the overall size or useful capacity of merchant ships. In addtion,recognizing that the transition from existing tonnage measurement systems to thenew system provided in the Convention should cause the least possible impact onthe economics of merchant shipping and port operations, the Conferencerecommends that Contracting Governments, port authorities, and all other agencieswhich use tonnage as a basis for charges should carefully consider which parameteris most appropriate for their use in the light of their present practice.
