a) Individual weight : water transfers Number: Water ballasts 1AB, 1DE,

Location: see capacity plan ref PL-011 rev1 22/11/01

(on which deck, which frame number, …)

b) Individual weight : water transfers Number :Water ballasts and 9AB 9 DE

Location: see capacity plan PL-011 rev1 22/11/01

(on which deck, which frame number, …)

Vertical centre of gravity/OH : see table Sounding capacities

Longitudinal centre of gravity/AP : see table Sounding capacities

4 submerged pumps are installed inside the tanks. As we have 1 motor brake down on 1 pump and 1 pump
working badly, we limited the transfers of 4 steps instead of 8 planned.

INITIAL SOUNDING OF CAPACITIES

The volume put in the table corresponded to specific sounding data taking into account a heel of 1° and trim of 1.8m. Position of the centre of
gravity of capacities are given by the standard capacity calibrations (heel and trim zero)
