The particulars of a single-propeller single-rudder container ship fitted with spade

rudder (rudder without cutouts) are:

Lbp

= 175.0 m, B = 25.40 m, Draft (mean) =

8.50 m, CB = 0.559, rudder area ( S R ) = 33.0376 m2, rudder aspect ratio ( ) = 1.8219,
VCG = 10.09 m, GM T = 0.30 m.

rudder cross section is rectangular and bottom of the rudder is 100 mm above the
ships base line. Estimate
(i) the maximum initial heel angle of the ship.
(ii) The minimum power of the steering gear, if the total torque on the steering gear is
1.25 times of the hydrodynamic torque.
(iii) During the steady turn for R = 35, u 0.85U, u R = U, R = 0.85* R , r ' =
0.20. If the hull hydrodynamic force acts at Draft/2, find the steady heel angle.
