1. A ship displaces 8,800 tons at a summer draught of 7.28m. Its Fresh Water Allowance is 315 mms.

Find its change of draught when proceeding to a port of UNIT DENSITY.

Answer = 31.5 cms

 1. Solution: A.I. = FWA x ( Change in Density ) 25 = 315 mms. x ( 1,025 1,000 ) 25 = 315 mms. x 25 25 A. I. = 315 mms. or 31.5 cms.

 2. A box has a dimension of 2ft x 2.5ft x 3ft and weighs 95 lbs. What is its stowage factor? Answer = 353.7

2. Solution: Volume = 2 ft. x 2.5 ft. x 3 ft. Volume = 15 ft Stowage Factor = Volume Weight / 2240 lbs. = 15 ft 95 lbs/ 2240 lbs = 15 ft / 0.0424 lbs Stowage Factor = 353.7

 3. You are going to load bales of abaca with SF 65 and lead with SF 18. The Remaining space is 257,000 cu ft. and the total weight to be loaded is 5,400 tons. How much of each cargo should be loaded to make the vessel FULL AND DOWN? Answer = 2,000 t lead / 3,400 t abaca

3. Solution: WLF = Weight of the cargo having the large SF WLF = Volume ( Wt. of Cargo x Small SF ) Difference in SF = 257,000 ft - ( 5,400t x 18 ) 65 18 = 257,000 97,200 47 = 159,800 / 47 WLF = 3,400 t ( Abaca ) Wt. of Lead = 5,400 t 2,400 t = 2,000 t

WT DIST MOMENT LOADED = 1,300 x 6.9 = 8,970 LOADED = 1,400 x 6.4 = 8,960 LOADED = 1,200 x 8.4 = 10,080 INIT.DISPL = (+) 6,500 TOTAL DISPL= 10,400 x 7.07 =73,528 KG = MOMENT (-) 8,970 WEIGHT (-) 8,960 = 45,518 (-)10,080 6,500 45,518 OLD KG = 7.00 m

 5. A bulk carrier has a displacement of 40,000 tons and the KG is 9 m .The KN at 10 degrees heel is 1.87 m. What is the righting arm at this heel?
Answer = 0.307 m

 5. Solution: GZ = KN ( KG x Sin ) = 1.87 m ( 9 m x Sin 10 ) = 1.87 1.5628 GZ = 0.307 m

 6. A bulk carrier has a displacement of 25,000 tons. KG is 8.6 m. At an angle of heel of 15 degrees, KN is 2.98. Solve for the righting moment.
Answer = 18,854 mtr-tons

6. Solution: GZ = KN ( KG x Sin ) 2.98 ( 8.6 x Sin 15 ) 2.98 2.2258 GZ = 0.754 m MSS = W x GZ = 25,000 x 0.754 MSS = 18,854 ton - meter

 7. While inspecting the log pond, you noticed that the average length of the logs to be loaded is 15 m and the average diameter is 70 cms. While floating in pond of density 1,012 kgs./m, 90 percent of their volume is submerged. What is the average weight of each log? Answer = 5.26 tons

7.Solution; Vol. of Cylinder = x r x h = 3.1416 x 0.35m x 15m = 5.77m x 0.9 (90%) Volume = 5.2m Weight = Volume x Density = 5.2m x 1.012ton/m Weight = 5.26 tons

 8. A boxshaped vessel with 12m beam is floating upright at a draught of 6.7m even keel. Find the draft if the vessel is now listed 18 degrees.
Answer = 8.226 mtrs

 8. Solution: New Draft = x B x Sin List + ODr. x Cos List = x 12m x Sin 18 + 6.7m x Cos 18 = 1.854 + 6.372 New Draft = 8.226 m

 9. On completion of loading, a vessel of 8,800 tons displacement and a GM of 0.45 m was listing 3 degrees to stbd. How many tons of ballast should be pumped into the port wing tank, 6 m from the centerline to make the vessel upright? Answer = 34.6 tons

 9. Solution: Tan List = Wt x Dist x GM Weight = Tan List x x GM Distance Weight = Tan 3 x 8,800 tons x 0.45m 6m Weight = 34.6 tons

 10. The speed made good was 16 knots and the engine speed 15.4 knots. What is the percentage of slip? Answer = - 3.9%

 10. Solution: % Slip = Eng. Spd Obs. Spd X 100 Eng. Spd = 15.4 16.0 X 100 15.4 - 0.6 X 100 15.4 % Slip = - 3.9 %

Answer = 549 kgs

11. Solution: Volume = x r x l = 3.1416 x 0.40 x 1.4m Volume = 0.70 m Weight = Volume x Density = 0.70 m x 0.78 ton/m Weight = 0.5489 ton x 1,000 kgs. Weight = 549 kgs.

 12. If the circumference of a mooring rope is 250 mms, what is its diameter?

Answer = 80 mms

12. Solution: Circumference = 3.1416 x Diameter Diameter = C / 3.1416 = 250 mms / 3.1416 Diameter = 79.58 mms
