N.B. - (1) Attempt SIX questions only with minimum of TWO Questions from each PART.
(2) All questions carry equal marks.
(3) Neatness in handwriting and clarity in expression carries weightage
PART A
1. A box-shaped vessel 42m 6m 5m, is floating in salt water on an even keel at 3rn draft
and has KG = 2m. Assuming that the KM is constant, calculate the dynamical stability to
15 degrees heel.
2. A ship loaded with a full cargo of timber and timber on deck is alongside a quay and has
taken up an angle of loll away from the quay. Describe the correct method of discharging
the deck cargo and the precautions, which must be taken during this process.
3. A box-shaped vessel 40m. long, 6m. beam, is floating at a draft of 2m. F and A. She has
an amidships compartment 10m. long which is empty. If the original GM was 0.6m., find
the new GM if this compartment is bilged.
5. A ship of 6,000 tonnes displacement is 120m. long and is trimmed 1m by the stern. KG =
5.3m, GM = 0.7m. MCTC = 90 tonnes-m. Is it safe to drydock the ship in this condition?
(Assume that the centre of flotation is amidships.)
6. A ship displaces 12,500 tonnes. is trimmed 0.6 m. by the stern and listed 6 degrees to
starboard. MCT 1 cm. 120 tonnes-m., KG 7.2 m, KM 7.3 m. No. 2 and No 5 double
bottom tanks are divided at the centre line. Centre of gravity of No. 2 is 15 m. forward of
the centre of flotation and centre of gravity of No. 5 is 12 m. abaft centre of flotation
Centre of gravity of all tanks is 4 m. out from the centre line. The ship is to be brought
upright and on to an even keel by transferring oil from aft to forward, taking equal
quantities from each side of No 5. Find the amounts of oil to transfer.
PART B
7. With regard to the ship construction details for transverse watertight bulkheads:
A. State the purpose of this type of bulkhead;
B. State how the bulkheads are tested for water tightness.
C. If it is necessary to penetrate the bulkhead, precautions must be taken to ensure
that the watertight integrity and strength of the bulkhead are maintained. With this
in mind, describe using simple sketches how the following pass through
bulkheads:
(i) Main transmission shaft, (ii) Electric cables.
8. (a) Sketch a simple arrangement of the machinery space bilge injection arrangement,
showing their separate suction and common delivery attachments.
(b) Explain why the bilge injection valve is fitted and how it is maintained in good
working order.
9. Compare the diameter of the bilge injection valve with that of the main sea injection
valve.
A. By means of sketches describe the braking arrangements fitted for the controlled
lowering of lifeboats.
B. State what maintenance and attention is required to ensure that the lowering gear
is kept in good condition.
10. Explain why a forced-air circulation system is fitted to a cargo hold, or holds, in a general
cargo ship? Describe the system and explain how it is monitored and controlled.
