Great explanation Sir...It cleared the concept regarding damage
stability and how to calculate. Kindly advise, how we will know
whether the ship is constructed as per probablistic method or
deterministic method?

Ships are built as per the requirements of SOLAS chapter II. The
damage stability requirements in SOLAS chapter II are based on
probabilistic approach. However, the oil tankers, chemical tanker,
and gas tankers are required to be built as per the requirements of
MARPOL Annex I, IBC Code and IGC code respectively. These
damage stability requirements are based upon the deterministic
approach.

Appreciate your effort sir, kindly advise if cross flooding
arrangements is only for passenger vessel or for cargo vessel also,
and when is it required, which tanks should have this
arrangements, TIA.

Cross flooding arrangements are applicable for passenger ships
though it is not compulsory. Passenger ships just need to comply
with the damage stability requirements as I have discussed in this
post. Having cross flooding arrangements increases the chances
that passenger ship would comply with the damage stability
requirements. For the areas for cross flooding, it is the decision of
the ship owner and naval architect designing the ship. For example,
considering no cross flooding arrangements the passenger ship
might be failing one damage case (Say damage to No 4
compartment) for damage stability requirements. By having cross
flooding arrangements for No 4 compartment may cause the ship to
comply with the damage stability requirements for this damage
case. Or shipowner may choose to have the cross flooding
arrangements for the entire length of the ship. If the ship complies
with the damage stability requirements without cross flooding
arrangements, they may choose to not fit the cross flooding
arrangements. The only requirement is to comply with damage
stability, with or without cross flooding arrangements does not
matter.

I am going for my mates written exam next week. It is a very nice
explanation. Found it very helpful. Is there any other platform
where i could contact you to clear my doubts in future ?

Glad you found it useful Harsh... If you have any question you can
post it on our SEAQA section, this way fellow seafarers can also
benefit from your questions and the answers to those questions.
Alternatively, you can send me an email at
support@myseatime.com. On average I get 10-15 emails a day and
sometimes there isn't enough time in a day to respond to all of
them but I try my best.

If loadicator is not working how I will ascertain that on departure
the tanker vessel is complying with damage stability requirements

We need to check the KG curve in the damage stability booklet. The
curve plotted with KG on one axis and draft on the other axis. We
need to take our draft and see the maximum KG allowed from the
curve. Ship's actual KG should be less than this value. On many
ships (specially the old ships) this KG curve may not be there.
Owners need to contact Yard and ship's class for these curves.

Thanks so much with your explanation ...I study naval
architecture ...I have a question about how to calculate the
floodable lentgh in theory form ...I know a method of iteration but I
don't undertand how to start ..I need to asum the draf, the trim ...if
you know a reference that explain that I would apreciate it!!!

Hello Sir, one clarification? I am on a PCC.We never get a ballast
voyage.Now we have about 2 days of ballast voyage.And we need
to finish the tank inspections.Now on the loadicator there are three
criterias for GM, i.e.IMO ,company requirement and DMG.When I
have pumped out 4 tanks together ,which I have to ,because they
are interconnected.Then do the inspection.I am getting GM 2.25
m ..thats fine, IMO GM is also OK i.e 2.20 m ,but DMG min required
its showing 2.28 m ..and an alarm.What am i missing here?? am i
okay to pump out and do the inspection?

How can the trim affect gz curve.Can deck edge immersion be
counted for that too.
