    Part (A) : Ship Stability;


    Q.1) - A vessel of LBP=160m, LCF=77m, TPC=18, MCTC=200tm, is at a draft of F =7.8 m
    A = 8.1m. To affect repairs at bow, it is necessary to reduce the FWD draft to 6.5m.
    The maximum permissible draft where the ship is to be berthed is 7.0m and cargo can
    be discharged from holds No.1, 70m forward of amidships and No.4, 30m aft of
    amidships. Compute the minimum cargo to be discharged from each hold.
    Assume LCF, TPC & MCTC remain unchanged.
    (20 marks)

    Q.2) - A ship with 140 m, length overall is floating at a draft of 5 m forward and 6 m aft and
    displacing 7100 tons ,TPC 11, MCTC 110, KG 7.9 m, KM 8.6 m, the vessel enters
    dry dock .Calculate the GM and the draft when the vessel takes the blocks fore and aft.
    The center of floatation is 4m abaft the mid ship.
    (20 marks)

    Q.3) - During the course of a voyage the bulk cargo, originally trimmed level within the
    holds shifts to one side creating horizontal and vertical shift of the center of gravity of
    the vessel. Describe with the aid of suitable diagrams the effects of the shift of cargo on
    ship's overall stability.
    (20 marks)

    Part (B) : Ship Construction;


    Q.4) - a) - Describe with aid of sketches arrangement and requirement necessary
    whenever an opening is made in a watertight bulkhead for access.

    (11 marks)

    b) - Provide at least two examples where such opening may be found on board a ship.
    (4 marks)

    Q.5) - a) - How can corrosion occur in ballast tanks of ships and describe the preventive
    measures employed.

    (5 marks)

    b) - Describe the common methods used to prepare the steel surfaces prior applying
    the paint.
    (10 marks)

    Q.6) - Explain types of non-destructive tests commonly used to prove the quality of a weld.
    (10 marks)
