4 Which statement is true about volume permeability? (Select all applicable answers)
If the volume permeability is 0%, no water will enter the compartment in case of
damage.
If the volume permeability is 100%, no water will enter the compartment in case of
damage.
If the volume permeability is 100%, the damaged compartment below the waterline
will be completely filled with water in case of damage.
The volume permeability in machinery spaces is 50% according to SOLAS.

5 A ship has VCG = 9,80 m above keel. The metacentre position above keel varies
according to the hydrostatic table shown here. What is the maximum permissible
draught for the ship to fulfil the stability requirements?
5,5 m
6,0 m
6,5 m
7,0 m

6 In the added weight method, the free communication effect in damaged condition:
Gives the ship decreased GM when the damage is symmetrical.
Reduces the GM and increase the dynamic stability of the ship.
Reduces the GM and decreases the dynamic stability by sinus correction of the GZ
curve
Reduces the GM and decreases the dynamic stability by cosinus correction of the GZ
curve

7 Which statements are true concerning the loss of Buoyancy method: (Select all
applicable answers)
The damaged compartment is still considered intact.
The damaged compartment is considered non-existing.
The original KN-values can be used for calculating GZ.
The method is suitable for computer programming.

8 Which statement is true about the metacentric radius?

It is the distance between the keel and the metacentre, depending on the speed and
the location of G.
The distance between B and metacentre, depending on the displacement and the
 CD-0061 Stability II, Damage Stability

moment of inertia of the waterplane area.

8The distance between G and the metacentre, depending on the displacement and
the location of G.
The distance between the keel and G depending on the waterline area and the
location of G.

9 Which of the following statements are true, with respect to change of stability
parameters for a damaged ship?
B moves and M remains at its original place.
M moves, but B remains at its original place.
M moves, B moves and GM is always constant.
M moves, B moves and GM increases or decreases.

11 What is usually the effect on G when the ship is damaged?

It rises
It lowers
It is unchanged
It first rises then lowers.

12 Which statements are true concerning the added weight method: (Select all applicable
answers)
It is a suitable damage stability calculation method for manual calculations.
You have no use of the hydrostatic tables and cross curves for the ship due to
increased displacement…
You can disregard the change in trim caused by the damage when calculating the
new GZ-curve.
The free surface effect from the water in the damaged compartment has influence on
residual stability even though the damage is symmetrical.
