 C. Find the New GM KB = x New Draft New BM = 1.125m New KB = 1.335m ( + ) = x 2.67m New KM = 2.460m KB = 1.335m New KG = 1.900m ( - ) BM = I or LB New GM = 0.56m V 12 x V = 30m x 6m 12 x 40m x 6m x 2m = 6480 /5760 BM = 1.125m

 5. A box-ship 80m x 10m x 6m is floating upright in salt water on an even keel at 4 meters draft. She has an amidships compartment 15m long which is filled with timber (SF=1.5 cu.m. of ton). One ton of solid timber would occupy 1.25 cu.m. of space. What would be the increase in draft if this compartment is now bilged. Ans. 0.129 meter

5. Solution: Stowage Factor Space Occupied Broken Stowage Permeability =

= 1.50 m = 1.25 m ( - ) = 0.25 m Broken Stowage x 100 Stowage Factor = 0.25 / 1.50 x 100 Permeability = 16.67% or 0.1667

 6. A box-ship 75m long x 10m wide x 6m deep is floating in salt water on an even keel at a draft of 4.5 meters. Find the new mean draft if a forward compartment 5 meters long is bilged.

Ans. 4.821 m

6. Solution: W = X x B x d x R. Density W = Trimming Moment X = Length of the Bilged Compartment W = 5m x 10m x 4.5m x 1.025 ton/m W = 230.625 tons TPC = WPA / 97.56 TPC = 70 x 10 97.56 TPC = 7.175
