1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Aker Base quay elevation is 3.58 above LLw. At the highest
tide the water level was about 2.32m above LLW, therefore 1.26m
below quay level. At the lowest tide the water level was at LLw
(0.0m), therefore 3.58m below quay level.
The two main water levels studies (low and high water) are
llustrated in figure 2.1 and 2.2.
We can now estimate the excess height and the corresponding volume of
water to ballast so that the deck of the badge with the quay. We shall
therefore consider separately the low and high tide scenario.
At the lowest tide the water level is 3.58m below quay level,
knowing the depth of the barge H, and the draft d 1,we can obtain
the excess height h 1, as:

TENDER DOCUMENT BALLASTING PLAN AND CALCULATION
To align the deck with the quay we need to pump into the barge a
certain volume of water such that the dreft of the barge will be:
The loading of the piles and the bridge will generate trim and heel
that must be corrected before the loading of the jacket.
We can see from the Weight calculation that the longitudinal Center
of Gravity (XCG) has shifted by 9.64ft towards the stern,this must
be corrected.
= 19090.8 kips / ft
= -1.59 FT
There is a trim of 1.59 ft by the stern. To eliminate it, we need to
pump a certain amount of water into the control tank (1c) located at
the bow.
a. Determination of the amount of water to transfer to tank 1c
V2 = 6,437 ft3
We can see from the weight calculations that the transverse center
of Gravity (YCG) has shifted by 0.94ft towards the starboard, this
must be corrected.
V3 = 1656 ft3
h1 = 2.59m
To align the deck elevation of the barge with the quay, we need to
pump the barge a certain amount of water such that the draft of
the barge will be:
The required volume of water to pump into the barge to achieve the
draft d2 is obtained as:

NOTE:
Tank 3c is the primary draft control tank.Tanks 1c and 5c will be used for trim control.
Tanks 3p and 3s will be used to heel angle correction.
Tanks 2p,2c,2s,4p,4c and 4s will be used to control draft due to tidal variation.
