1: (Grain Loading)
The value of the KG used in the calculation of the vessel’s effective KG were as follows.
For lower holds, the centroid of the cargo spaces.
For tween decks, the actual Kg of the cargo.
Calculate the grain heeling arms λ0, λ40 and λ20 in metres.
λ0 = VHM
SF x W
= 5491.72
1.69 x 13540
= 0.24 m
λ20 = 0.216 m

Question No.2: (Grain Loading)
MV Del Monte, a 7-holds bulk carrier, is scheduled to load a consignment of wheat in bulk at Santos, Brazil.
Note: For vertical shift of G due to grain shift, use a factor of 1.06 for filled compartments and 1.12 for
partly-filled compartments.
Required:
a) Using the KN and HM curves provided, draw the curve of statical stability for the departure condition.
The curve should include the heeling moment curve for grain shift.
b) Determine the angle of heel due to grain shift using the following method.
i. By estimation, using the curve of statical stability.
ii. By calculation, given the maximum allowable heeling moment at departure condition is 54500 t-m.
