A-DENSITY

DENSITY :
THE MASS PER UNIT VOLUME MEASURED IN KG/M3 OR TON/M3 .

MASS IN KG OR TONS
DENSITY
IN M3

VOLUME = L * B * D
(LENGTH * BREADTH * DEPTH )

---------------------------------kg/m3 or T/m3

VOLUME

B-RELATIVE DENSITY
RELATIVE DENSITY:

DEFFINED AS THE RATIO BETWEEN THE DENSITY OF


ANY LIQUID TO THE DENSITY OF FRESH WATER.
R.D = DENSITY OF ANY LIQUID
DENSITY OF FRESH WATER

DENSITY OF FRESH WATER = 1000 KG/M3 OR 1.000 T/M3


DENSITY OF SALT WATER

1025 KG/M3 OR 1.025 T/M3

CHAPTER 4
LAW OF FLOATATION

LAW OF FLOATATION

LAW OF FLOATATION
THE MASS OF ANY SUBSTANCE IS EQUAL TO THE MASS OF THE WATER THE SUBSTANCE
DISPLACES.

MASS OF SUBSTANCE
AS THE SHIP MASS

MASS OF WATER DISPLACED

DENSITY OF SHIP * SHIPS . VOLUME

( L * B * DEPTH)

AND
AS THE WATER MASS = DENSITY OF THE WATER * WATER VOLUME
DISPLACED BY THE PART UNDER WATER

SHIPS MASS

( L * B * DRAFT
= WATER DISPLACED MASS

DENSITY OF SHIP * DEPTH

= DENSITY OF WATER * DRAFT

)SO

LAW OF FLOATATION

THE WEIGHT OF ANY SHAPE IS ACTING ONLY AT A CERTAIN POINT WHICH IS


CALLED CENTRE OF GRAVITY
CENTRE OF GRAVITY :
IS DEFINED AS A POINT WHERE THE SHIPS WEIGHT IS CONCENTRATED , THIS
FORCE IS ACTING DOWNWARD & THE POINT ALWAYS LIES AT THE DEPTH OF
THE SHAPE
KG = DEPTH

EXAMPLE DEPTH = 4m SO KG = 2m

DEPTH

LAW OF FLOATATION
THE CENTRE OF BOUYANCY

IS DEFINED AS A POINT WHERE THE SHIPS BOUYANCY IS


CONCENTRATED, THIS FORCE IS ACTING UPWARD ,AND ALWAYS
CENTERED AT
THE DRAFT . KB = DRAFT ,e.g; DRAFT = 4m , SO KB = 2m

BOTH FORCES ACTS AGAINEST EACH OTHER S , IF THE G FORCE
INCREASED OVER THE B FORCE THE SHIP STARTS TO GO DOWN
;INCREASING THE SHIPS DRAFT BY THE DIFFRENCE IN FORCES .

RESERVE BOUYANCY
DEFINED AS THE SPACE THAT LIES BETWEEN THE WATER SURFACE AND THE FIRST WATER TIGHT INTEGRITY ( MAIN DECK).

RESERVE BOUYANCY =

ANY BOX SHAPED VESSEL SAILS FROM ONE PORT TO ANOTHER CERTAIN
CHANGES OCCURES OVER THE SHIP, AS A RESULT OF THE EFFECT OF
DENSITY ON SHIPS VOLUME & DISPLACEMENT
AS WE KNOW THAT THE

THE VOLUME IS THE SUM OF L * B * DRAFT ,


THE L & B NEVER CHANGE FROM PORT TO ANOTHER SO THE
ONLY PARAMETER THAT CHANGES IS THE DRAFT ,THERFORE THE
VOLUME CHANGES ASWELL

1-EFFECT OF DENSITY ON VOLUME

EFFECT OF DENSITY ON VOLUME


LETS SAY A BOX SHAPED VESSEL DISPLACES 20,000 TONS
SAILED
FROM
TO

PORT A HAS WATER DENSITY


PORT B HAS WATER DENSITY

1.OOO
1.025 ,

ACCORDING TO THE RELATION BETWEEN DENSITY AND


VOLUME INV.PROPORTIONS , WE DISCOVERS THAT AT PORT
B, THE VOLUME WILL DECREASES AS THE WATER DENSITY
INCREASES ( 1.000 PORT A TO 1.025 PORT B ) ,
WHILE THE SHIP STILL DISPLACES THE SAME 20,000TONS

SINCE THE VOLUME

= L * B * DRAFT ,

SO THE CHANGE IN THE VOLUME COMES FROM THE CHANGE IN


THE DRAFT

EFFECT OF DENSITY ON VOLUME


SHIPS MASS AT PORT A
WHERE THE MASS

SHIPS MASS AT PORT B

= DENSITY * VOLUME

( OLD DENSITY * OLD DRAFT )

= ( NEW DENSITY * NEW DRAFT )

2-EFFECT OF DENSITY ON DISPLACEMENT

EFFECT OF DENSITY ON
DISPLACEMENT
A BOX SHAPED VESSEL DISPLACES 20,000 TONS SAILED
FROM
TO

PORT A OF WATER DENSITY

1.OOO & DRAFT 7.0 mtrs

PORT B OF WATER DENSITY 1.025 ,

AS SHE ARRIVED TO PORT B , THE SHIPS DRAFT STAYED THE SAME 7.0 mtrs.
DESPITE THE DENSITY IS ALREADY CHANGED FROM 1.000 TO 1.025 ,

THAT MEANS A CHANGE OCCURRED ON THE SHIPS DISPLACEMENT (MASS)


YOU WILL FIND THE SHIP DISPLACEMENT BECAME 21,000 TONS AS EXAMPLE.

THE RELATION BETWEEN DENSITY & DISPLACEMENT (MASS) IS DIRECT


PROPORTIONS ,AS A RESULT THE DISPLACEMENT INCREASED WHEN DENSITY
INCREASED ( 1.000 TO 1.025)

DW A =

---------------------25

Example : FWA 200mm (0.2mtrs) , DW DENSITY = 1.015


SO DWA = 0.2 * ( 10 )

= 0.08 mtrs ( 80 mm )

EFFECT OF DENSITY ON VOLUME &


DISPLACEMENT

IF THE SHIP SAILS FROM PORT A WHOSE WATER DENSITY IS 1.000 TO


PORT B WHOSE WATER DENSITY IS 1.025 ( THE DENSITY INCREASED) , SO
ACCORDING TO THE RELATION BETWEEN DENSITY & VOLUME.

DENSITY

1 / VOLUME ( INV. PROPORTION ) WHICH MEANS THAT

WHEN

DENSITY DECREASES

THE VOLUME INCREASES

WHEN

DENSITY INCREASES

THE VOLUME

DECREASES

THE SHIPS DRAFT WILL DECREASES , THE VALUE OF DRAFT DECREASING


EQUALS THE FWA.

Eg. SHIP SHAPE V/L SAILED FROM PORT A WITH DENSITY 1.000 TO PORT B
WITH DENSITY 1.025 FWA 200MM .OLD DRAFT 7.0mtrs so the new draft
will decrease to 7.0 mt FWA 200MM ( 20CM, 0.2mt )

ANGLE OF LOLL
ANGLE OF LOLL
THE ANGLE THAT APPEARS WHEN THE SHIP HEELS TO A SIDE WHILE THE
SHIP HAS A VE GM . A CAPSIZING MOMENT CREATED INCREASES THE
HEELING ,

BY THAT TIME THE CENTRE OF BOUYANCY B STARTS TO MOVE TO


THE HEELED SIDE UNTILL B REACHES A POINT JUST BELOW THE
LINE OF GRAVITY. THE ANGLE WHERE THAT HAPPENS IS CALLED
ANGLE OF LOLL .

WE NOTICE THAT THE SHIP AT THE ANGLE OF LOLL , HAS NO GZ, NO GM,
NO MOMENT AT ALL.AS A RESULT THE SHIP STAYES ON THIS CONDITION (
HEELED)

ANGLE OF LOLL
IF THE SHIP HEELED MORE CAUSE OF ANY REASON (WIND),
THE CENTRE OF BOUYANCY B MOVES FAR FURTHER AWAY IN
THE HEELED SIDE, AS A RESULT B IS NO MORE ACTING

A RIGHTNING MOMENT CREATED TO BRING BACK THE SHIP


NOT TO THE UPRIGHT CONDITION BUT TO THE ANGLE OF LOLL
AGAIN. THE SHIP KEEPPS ROLLING AROUND THE ANGLE OF

CORRECTING ANGLE OF

INORDER TO CORRECT < OF LOLL

WE MUST LOWER THE


G BELOW M , PUTTING INTO CONSIDERATION THE SEQUENCE.

1.

FILLING THE FULL BALLAST TANKS ( TO REMOVE FREE SURFACE)

2.

LOWERING DOWN ANY UPPER LOADS ( CRANES , TOPSIDES TODOUBLE


BOTTOM TANKS)

3.

FILLING THE D.B TANKS IN THE HEELED SIDE

4.

THEN FILL THE D.B TANKS IN THE OTHER SIDE TO THE HEELED SIDE &
THAT SHOULD BE GRADUALLY.

WHY THE HEELED SIDE FIREST ?


AS FILLING THE TANKS IN THE HEELED SIDE THE G WILL MOVE UP SLOWLY
&INCREASING LOLL ANGLE ;DUE TO FREE SURFACS ,BUT EVENTUALLY
AFTER A WHILE THE G STARTS TO MOVE DOWN ,ANGLE OF LOLL STARTS
TO BE REDUCED GRADUALLY ,UNTILL IT DISAPPEARS . G RETURNS
BELOW M TO THE + VE CONDITION CREATING A RIGHTENING MOMENT,
MAKES THE SHIP BACK TO THE UPRIGHT CONDITION.

STATIC STABILITY
CORRECTING ANGLE OF
LOLL
IF WE STARTS FILLING D.B TANKS IN THE HIGH SIDE , THE

TANKS GETS FILLED GRADUALLY ,AND OFCOARSE FREE


SURFACE WILL MAKES THE G MOVES MORE UP ,INCREASING
THE HEEL;& ANGLE OF LOLL ; EVENTUALLY THE FREE
SURFACE EFFECT STARTS TO DISAPPEAR & THE SHIP STARTS
TO BE ADJUSTED & RETURNS TO THE UPRIGHT CONDITION
CAUSE THE G STARTS TO MOVE DOWN ,ANGLE OF LOLL
DECREASES GRADUALLY , & THEN DISAPPEARS , & G TURNS
TO BE BELOW THE M (+VE GM),A RIGHTENING MOMENT IS
CREATED BUT VERY STRONG ONE.

UNFORTUNATLY ,THE GZ CREATED IS VERY LARGE , THE


RETURN WILL BE VERY SEVERE ,STIFF AND IN A MATTER OF
SECONDS; & LEADS TO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO
THE SHIP.

FREE SURFACE
CHAPTER 7

FREE SURFACE
FREE SURFACE
IS DEFINED AS THE SURFACE THAT CAN MOVE FREELY FROM ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER FREELY ,
EXAMPLE A TANK FULL OF BALLAST .

THE FREE SURFACE HAS A NEGATIVE EFFECT OVER THE SHIPS STABLE CONDITION,
MORE CLEARLY THE FREE SURFACE LEADS TO LOSS IN THE G M , WHICH MEANS THAT IT COULD
REDUCES THE GM TO THE EXTENT OF CONVERTING THE +VE GM
TO -VE GM ( STABLE SHIP TO UNSTABLE SHIP ),SPECIALLY IF THE SHIP STARTED HER VOYAGE
WITH A SMALL INITIAL G.M , AS A RESULT THE SHIP CAN EASILY CAPSIZE & SINKS.

FREE SURFACE
THE FREE SURFACE REDUCES THE SHIP RIGHTENING MOMENT BY REDUCING THE
GZ LEVER, THE LEVER WHICH USED TO BRING THE SHIP BACK TO THE UPRIGHT
CONDITION .
, THE FREE SURFACE MAKES AN EXTRA CAPSIZING MOMENT OVER THE SHIP,
AS A RESULT OF THE EXTRA WEIGHT ADDED FROM THE LIQUID IN THE FULL
TANK IN THE HEELED SIDE.

FREE SURFACE
CONSEQUENTLY IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE EFFECT OF THE FREE SURFACE
ON THE SHIPS STABILITY IS SIMMILLAR AS SHIFTING A LOAD VERTICALLY
UP.

THE RIGHTENING MOMENT IS AFFECTED FROM THE FREE SURFACE ,AS THE
G MOVES HORIZONTALLY TO G & PARALLEL TO g g1 , THAT MEANS THE
GZ WILL BE REDUCED TO GZ AND CONSEQUENTLY THE RIGHTENING
MOMENT WILL ALSO BE REDUCED .
RM = GZ * W
IN PRESENCE OF FREE SURFACE ,THE EFFECT

RM =

GZ *W

AS THE G ALSO MOVES UP VERTICALLY TO G1 , GM REDUCED BY THE


VALUE OF THE MOVE OF G TO G1 & THAT IS CALLED THE LOSS IN GM
(LOSS IN STABILITY) , THE NEW IS G1M

FREE SURFACE
SUMMARY
1.

FREE SURFACE COMES FROM FULL TANKS

2.

FREE SURFACE LEADS TO LOSS IN SHIPS STABILITY


(LOSS IN GM)

3.

FREE SURFACE REDUCES THE SHIPS RIGHTENING MOMENT

4.

FREE SURFACE REDUCES THE GZ

5.

FREE SURFACE EFFECT ON SHIPS STABILITY IS EQUIVILANT TO THE


EFFECT OF SHIFTING A LOAD VERTICALLY UPWARD .

6.

FREE SURFACE MAKES THE LIQUID IN TANK TO LEAN TO THE HEELED


SIDE , & ADDS AN EXTRA HEELING MOMENT(CAPSIZING) ,I.E REDUCES
THE RIGHTENING MOMENT WHICH MAKES THE SHIP TO HEEL WITH A
LARGER

THE g of the weight,making THE SHIP TO LEAN FORWARD
.THE SHIP STOPS LEANING FORWARD ONCE B MOVES &
REACH JUST BELOW THE G , WHICH MEANS BOTH G &
B ACTS AGAIN ON THE SAME LINE OF WORK. THE FINAL
GG ( DISTANCE BETWEEN
GML G &G) COULD BE
CALCULATED FROM THE FINAL MOMENTS OF THE
WEIGHTS & TOTAL WEIGHTS.

IF A LOAD IS ADDED AFT ,THE SHIPS DRAFT AFT WILL BE
INCREASED WHILE THE SHIPS DRAFT FORE DECREASES, AS
SHOWN IN THE fig. 1 BELOW. THE EFFECT OF THE WEIGHT OVER
THE SHIPS TRIM COMES FROM THE MOMENT IT MAKES.
TRIMMING MOMENT IS THE MOMENT TO CHANGE THE SHIPS
TRIM ,& IT IS THE SUM OF THE W & DISTANCE OF W FROM CF.

THE TOTAL CHANGE IN TRIM IN CM ,WILL BE DISTRIBUTED
BETWEEN THE DRAFTS FORE & AFT. IF THE CF OF THE SHIP IS
COINSIDE WITH THE MID SHIP POINT ,THE CHANGE IN TRIM WILL
BE DIVIDED EQUALLY ON BOTH DRAFTS.
EXAMPLE . CHANGE IN TRIM = 6 CM
