It is accordingly divided into 3 sections. Stability A contains the material for Coxswain and Master 5. Stability B is for Master 4 students and has been printed separately. Within each section there are activities for you to work through and most contain self-test questions for you to check that you have understood what you have just been studying. At the end of several Sections, in the Master 4, are Mastery Assignments. These are longer and will take some time to work through. The worked answers are given for these. As the final assessment will contain calculations, it is important that they are practised.

The tolerances are much smaller and small movements of weights can have BIG effects as we may have found out in small tenders when a passenger has stepped on the gunwale. Stability is calculated for a vessel in ordinary trim and without a list. Vessels with an excessive trim will have considerably reduced stability. A list always reduces stability. The first Section is an introduction to the subject and so needs to be studied carefully so that the basic terms are understood. This first Section covers two of the training package requirements. Learning Outcomes: • Describe the principles of stability and trim in a small vessel and the disposition of passengers and cargo required to maintain stability and trim within safe limits. • Explain the effects of loss of watertight integrity. Unit 1.1 Basic Principles of Stability The question is, "What is stability?" What does it mean when we say a vessel is stable? How often have we heard statements like: "Great little tender, very stable" "Most stable boat I have been on" "She is so stable you can sit down for a meal in a force 7" "Really dry boat" "Doesn't roll much" "Lots of freeboard, really stable" "Has a good centre of gravity" "Really stable, you would never get sick on her" (Are seasickness and stability related!!) What do all these statements tell us? That there are many ideas about what stability is. So we will use a very simple definition: 1.1 SECTION 1 – VESSEL STABILITY Stability is the ability of a vessel to return to her initial position. A vessel rolling in a seaway rolls around her initial position (usually upright) and in calm water returns to that position. A yacht sailing along at some angle will roll around that angle as the wind gusts. When the wind stops gusting, she will return to her original angle. In the transverse or athwartships direction, stability is more easily endangered and easier to understand than in the fore and aft or longitudinal direction. Unit 1.2 Forces Involved The most obvious thing about a boat is that it floats. The boat, using its own weight, pushes some water out of the way and creates a hole in the water in which it can sit. Lift the boat out, the water goes back. When we lower the boat into the water it floats at the point where the weight of the boat pushing down is equal to the force of the water pushing up. So, when a boat is floating, there are two forces acting equally and in opposite directions. Now the force acting down is obviously the weight of the boat and the force acting up is called buoyancy. When they are equal and opposite the boat floats. This simple fact applies to every object floating. Weight acts vertically down Ð and buoyancy acts vertically up Ï. 1.2 STABILITY A – COXSWAIN LEVEL– LEARNER’S GUIDE Stability is all about the interaction between these two forces. So, to understand stability properly, we need to clearly understand these two forces. Q. What is the difference between a beachball and a dinghy? A. The beachball will float upside down. Unit 1.3 Centre of Gravity If you have ever taken some of the uninitiated out in a small dinghy, you will know how important it is for them to sit in the centre to keep it upright. What about vertically? What happens when they stand up? Weight has moved up in the boat and it is now less stable and feels it! We know this in practice. Let's have a look at the theory behind this. Fig 1.1 If we take a plank of wood – it has a point about which it balances. This point through which we could consider the weight is acting, vertically downward, is called the centre of gravity. The centre of gravity actually lies at the centre of the plank, the geometric centre, and the plank will rock around point P without falling off. The sum of the weights of everything in the vessel such as structure, stores, fuel, water, fish, and cargo is the vessel's weight and can be considered as one force acting downward through a single point, called the Centre of Gravity – G.

    Container Crane Transport Options: Self-Propelled Ship Versus Towed Barge

    Marine Heavy Transport & Lift 21-21 September 2005, London, UK CONTAINER CRANE TRANSPORT OPTIONS: SELF-PROPELLED SHIP VERSUS TOWED BARGE F. van Hoorn, Argonautics Marine Engineering, USA SUMMARY Container cranes are rarely assembled on the terminal quays anymore. These days, new cranes are delivered fully-erect, complete, and in operational condition. In today’s world economy, these fully-erect container cranes are routinely shipped across the oceans. New cranes are transported from manufacturers to terminals, typically on heavy-lift ships either owned by the manufacturer or by specialized shipping companies. Older cranes, often removed from the quay to make space for newer, bigger cranes, are relocated between ports and typically transported by cargo barges. Although the towed barge option is less expensive from a day rate point of view, additional expenses, such as the heavier seafastenings, higher cargo insurance premium, longer transit time, etc. need to be included in the cost trade-off analysis. Some recent container crane transports on ships and barges are discussed in detail and issues such as design criteria, stowage options, seafastening, etc. are addressed.

Most are new cranes, transported from New container cranes are on order for delivery to many their manufacturer to the ports of destination on heavy-lift ports around the world. With quay space a valuable ships either owned by the crane manufacturer or by commodity, the cranes are no longer assembled on the specialized shipping companies.

    ‘I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in shipping or taking a course where shipping is an important element, for example, chartering and broking, maritime transport, exporting and importing, ship management, and international trade. Using an approach of simple analysis and pragmatism, the book provides clear explanations of the basic elements of ship operations and commercial, legal, economic, technical, managerial, logistical, and financial aspects of shipping.’ Dr Jiangang Fei, National Centre for Ports & Shipping, Australian Maritime College, University of Tasmania, Australia ‘Branch’s Elements of Shipping provides the reader with the best all-round examination of the many elements of the international shipping industry. This edition serves as a fitting tribute to Alan Branch and is an essential text for anyone with an interest in global shipping.’ David Adkins, Lecturer in International Procurement and Supply Chain Management, Plymouth Graduate School of Management, Plymouth University ‘Combining the traditional with the modern is as much a challenge as illuminating operations without getting lost in the fascination of the technical detail. This is particularly true for the world of shipping! Branch’s Elements of Shipping is an ongoing example for mastering these challenges. With its clear maritime focus it provides a very comprehensive knowledge base for relevant terms and details and it is a useful source of expertise for students and practitioners in the field.’ Günter Prockl, Associate Professor, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark This page intentionally left blank Branch’s Elements of Shipping Since it was first published in 1964, Elements of Shipping has become established as a market leader.
