This in connection with the additional reserve buoyancy provided by the deck cargo. To indicate this, the ship has a special Freeboard Mark for carrying a deck cargo of timber, the so-called Timber Mark, ‘Tankers carrying liquid cargoes and being completely watertight, also have allowance for less freeboard ‘compared with other cargo ships with the same length, Explanation of abbre- viations used on the mark: TF: Tropical Fresh (for water with a den- sity of 1.000 ums) F: Fresh (ditto) T.

This relation plays a role in the determination of the freeboard and the longitudinal strength, BIT (T= Draught) The breadth/draught-ratio, varies berween 2.3 and 4.5. A larger breadth in relation to the draught (a larger B/T-value) gives a greater initial stability Bp The breadth/depth-ratio, varies be tween 13 and 2. If this value becomes larger, it will have an unfavourable effect on the stability (because the deck edge will be ‘emerged when the vessel heels) and on the strength, 1.4 Volumes and weights Genera The size of a ship can be expressed by using terms which deseribe the characteristics of the ship, Each term hhas a specific abbreviation. The type of ship determines the term to be used. For instance, the size of a container vessel is expressed in the ‘number of 20° containers it ean load; aRo-Ro carrie lane metres and a passenger ship in the number of passengers it fen by the Measurement Treaty All aspects concerning the measurements of seagoing vessels are arranged in the Certificate of Registry Act of 1982. Part of the Centificaie of Registry Act is the International treaty onthe ‘measurement of ships, as set up by the IMO-conference in 1969, ‘The treaty applies to seagoing vessels on Intemational voyages with minimum length of 24 metres and to force in July 1994, At the IMO-conference in 1969 the new measurements for the "Gross Tonnage” and "Nett Tonnage’ were introduced. to establish a world-wide standard in calculating the size of a ship. In many countries the Gross Tonnage is used to calculate harbour dues and pilotage, or to determine the number of people in the crew Register ton, To determine the size of a ship the Register Ton is used. It is based on Volume where one register ton equals, 100 eft, or 2.83 m* ‘n the drawing NT is given a diferent colour Within GT fuich is manele the whole hip indcate the difference berween NT and GI. Grose Register Tonnage ‘The Gross Register Tonnage (GRT or GT), usually called Gross Tonnage. is calculated using a formula that takes into account the ship's volume in cubic metres below the main deck and the enclosed spaces above the main deck, ‘This volume is then multiplied by a coefficient, which results in a non- dimensional number (this means. no. values of T or m? should be placed after the number). All measurements used in the calculation are moulded dimen-sions. In order to minimize the daily expenses of a ship, the ship owner will keep the GT as low as possible, One way of doing this is by keeping the Depth small, so more cargo can be placed on deck. This strategy is in particular used in container-feeder ships. As 4 consequence, dangerous situations can occur as the loss of reserve buoyancy can result in a loss of stability and more “water on deck", Nett Register Toonage The Nett Regisier Tonnage is also a ‘non-dimensional number that deseri- bes the volume of the cargo space. The NI is derived from the GT by subtracting the volume of space ‘occupied by ~crew - navigation equipment Ship Knowledge ~ Chapter 22 + Be] Gross Tonnage (GT) | Nett Tonnage (NT) + the propulsion equipment(partly) ‘workshops + ballast ‘The NT may not be less than 30% of the GT.

This is a ‘xed value, which is unique for each ship. ‘Through the years, there is usually a build-up of mud in the ballast tanks, additional spares are taken on board, and less is going off. There is also water, ‘which cannot be pumped out.

They are called diagonals, or sent-lines Dingonals The diagonals are longitudinal sections that intersect with the hull surface at a certain angle. On the longitudinal plan they show up as curves, The curvature of the frames (ondinates), water lines and buttocks are compared to each other and modified until they are consistent, and develop smoothly in all directions. Whea this. procedure is executed, the results ean be checked using the diagonals. The most common diagonal is called the bilge diagonal. Today the lines plans are made with the aid of computer programs that have the capability to tansform the shape of the vessel automatically When modifications in the ship's design require this. When the lines plan is ready, the program is used to calculate, among other things, the volume, displacement and stability of the ship, set against draught. 33 As shown in the lines plan below. both the water lines and the cals/buttocks are drawn in one half of the ship.

The vessels usually shuttle between two ports on a very tight schedule, The passengers drive their own cars on board via a ramp, which is either part of the ship, or a movable ramp placed on the quay, oF a combination of these two, Ferries hhave the same type of decks as the Ro-Ro carriers, and therefore they face the same problems when water floods the decks. Possible cargo trucks and lorries = passengers trains trailers (with containers) Characteristics ‘number of ears or trucks = lane length ~height between decks = number of passengers ~ carrying capacity 5B Semi-submersible ship ou 2.1.4 Heavy Lift ships Heavy lit ships ded into: semi-submersible heavy-lift ships conventional heavy. ift ships dock-ships (semi-submersible) The construction and stability allows above ships to carry extremely large and heavy objects. The semi submersible ships can by letting in water, sink ll the main deck is sufficiently below the waterline to take large floating objects like silling rigs on deck (float on / fos off. When the water is pumped out, the cargo is lifted and the ship sails with the cargo as one unit, Lashing and securing the cargo needs to be carefully calculated and eartied out ‘The conventional heavy-cargo vessels are often fitted with own loading gear. However, this does not necessarily mean that these vessels are able to lift all heavy objects themselves. When there is no heavy rgo, the vessels can function as ‘multipurpose vessels.

Refrigerated containers have a buil igeraling system, which can be plugged in to the ship's electricity system. Air is used to remove the excess heat from the refrigerating units and therefore the ventilation of the holds is very important. Refrigerated conta can also be transported by a regular container vessel When fruit is carried, not just the temperature is being controlled, but also the composition of the air in the containers in order to control the ripening process of the fruit, An increasing number of reefers are taking on general cargo as return ‘cargo, for instance cars and tracks, Compared to multipurpose vessels, reefers have: ~ smaller hateh openings (iength, width and height) - more tweendecks + loading gear with a limited lifting capacity up to about 40 tons, Possible cargo fruit, vege meat, fish (frozen) = general cargo - containers on deck and sometimes in the holds, bles (cooled, chilled) Characteristics + carrying capacity tonnag temperature range cooling and freezing capacity at different temperatures range of atmospheric control in the holds /air-changes per hour relatively high ship's speed, Refrigerated ship w s4
