Utilizing the individual data received (cargo name, SF – stowage factor and cargo unit
dimensions), design the initial cargo plan for multipurpose ship Vectis Castle.

Example:
Loading condition: SF = 1.75m3/t,
Cargo: potatoes in crates
Dimensions:1.2m*1.8m*1.15m (breadth*length*height)

The project should follow the next steps:

1. Cargo properties:

From Thomas Stowage :

Start with part3 Commodities, about your specific type of packaging in part2 read
about Systems and Techniques, and about your specific cargo type read part1 Safety, part4 Damage
and Claims (those applicable to your cargo) and part5 Procedures. If it’s necessary get the related
information from IMDG Code also.
2. Stowage planning:

Read “S2_PRE STOWAGE PLANNING.pdf” about general information related to

proper stowage of cargoes and for any misunderstood terms.
From the ship Plans (General Arrangement etc. :STABILITY LOADING
MANUAL.pdf at the end) take out the cargo holds dimensions.
At a proper scale draw the cargo distribution onboard ship:

3. Displacement calculation

Before doing any computations familiarize yourself with the ship stability booklet, general
informations being found in the first three chapters of 004_STABILITY_LOADING_MANUAL.pdf.

In order to compute the position of the center of gravity of the ship and it’s
displacement use the template provided in 6.5. Calculation template for draft, trim and stability.
First you find out the weight and center of gravity of the cargo and dunnage from
stowage plan, link those dimensions to the positions of the bulkheads in the ships plans and compute
the Total CARGO and it’s center of gravity:

To the weight of the cargo, to find out the actual Displacement of the ship you
should add up the other weights onboard that vessel, starting with the lightship. The information is
found in chapter 14. Consumables - Departure, and for the crew and effects and provisions
information you need to look them up in the standard loading conditions, ch.15.

Adding up all the weights we obtain the Displacement of the ship and with the moment theorem we
compute the coordinates of the center of gravity.

4. Trim

Using the 6.5. Calculation template for draft, trim and stability the first correction
we should think about is the list correction. We distribute ballast onboard in such a manner that the
TCG of the ship is 0, so the ships’s list is 0 (4.1 Calculation of static angle of heel). Ballast
information can be easily found in TANK ARRANGEMENT.pdf.

The new Displacement of the ship is:

Displacement 10223.7 7.29 74568.41 55.47 567120.43 0.00 -3.075 321.4

Using the new displacement we compute the trim of the ship, initial for t=0, and after for interpolated
values for the actual trim of the ship like in 6.6. Calculation template for draft, trim and stability.

The trim should be in the interval -1.2…-1.4m (by aft). If the condition is not fulfilled just add

5. Stability

For Initial stability we start the computation as per: 6.5. Calculation template for draft, trim and
stability, the KMT is obtain by interpolation from ch.10 hydrostatic particulars for the real trim of the
ship.
G'M 0.50
>0.15m
For the damage stability we have to compare the VCG’ of the ship (corrected for the influence of the
free surfaces in tanks) with the maximum allowable VCG’, as per 5. Notes on the use of tables of
maximum VCG, and the actual values tabulated in 13. Tables of maximum VCG, for the No Deck
Cargo information.
If either the initial stability of the ship condition, or the damage stability one is not fulfilled, then we
should keep decreasing the VCG of the ship by adding ballast and restart the computation for trim and
drafts.
To draw the GZ curve (on milimetric paper) the information about computation method is found in
ch.4. How to use the cross curves, and the actual values that you have to interpolate in ch. 11. Cross
curves.

To finally verify the stability criteria as per IMO Resolution MSC.267 (85) the information is in ch.
6.1 General stability criteria:
A The area under the GZ curve up to 30° shall not be less than 0.055 metre-radians.
B The area under the GZ curve up to X° shall not be less than 0.090 metre-radians.
C The area between 30° and X° shall not be less than 0.03 metre-radians.
X 40° or any lesser angle at which the lower edge of any openings in the hull, superstructure or
deckhouse, which cannot be closed weathertight, immerse.
E The righting lever GZ shall be at least 0.20 m at an angle of heel equal to or greater than 30°.
The maximum GZ shall occur at an angle of heel not less than 25°.
F The Initial G’M shall not be less than 0.15 m.
