STABILITY II – DAMAGED STABILITY

What is the minimum required righting lever for a damaged passenger ship at final state of flooding?
0.10 metres

What is the minimum required GM for a ship with the following GM(min) curve and draught 6.3 meters?
1.7m

What is the minimum required residual dynamic stability for a damaged passenger ship at equilibrium?
0.015 metre-radians

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%, the damaged compartment below the waterline will be completely filled with water in case of
damage.

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?
7,0 m

In the added weight method, the free communication effect in damaged condition:
Reduces the GM and decreases the dynamic stability by sinus correction of the GZ curve

Which statements are true concerning the loss of Buoyancy method: (Select all applicable answers)
The damaged compartment is considered non-existing.
The method is suitable for computer programming.

Which statement is true about the metacentric radius?

The distance between B and metacentre, depending on the displacement and the moment of inertia of the waterplane area.

Which of the following statements are true, with respect to change of stability parameters for a damaged ship?
M moves, B moves and GM increases or decreases.

Drag and drop the different terms to their corresponding boxes:

Weathertight = means that in any sea condition water will not penetrate into the ship
Subdivision load line = A water line used in determining the number of water tight compartments in the ship.
Progressive flooding = Ingress of water through internal openings to compartments assumed to be intact.
Residual stability = The positive range of the righting lever curve, after damage, with external heeling levers taken into account.
Margin line = An assumed line 3 inches or 76 mm below bulkhead deck of the ship.

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

It is unchanged

Which statements are true concerning the added weight method: (Select all applicable answers)
It is a suitable damage stability calculation method for manual calculations.
The free surface effect from the water in the damaged compartment has influence on residual stability even though the damage is
symmetrical.

Drag and drop the correct description of the situation on the images below:

Double bottom damage, amid ship.

Symmetrical two compartment damage in the aft ship.

Symmetrical three compartment damage in the fore ship.

Two compartment, unsymmetrical damage in the aft ship.

Which of the following statement (s) are true?

Cross flooding arrangements reduce the heeling angle in damaged condition.
A damage control plan shows the boundaries of watertight compartments and openings therein.

What is the minimum required righting lever for a damaged passenger ship at intermediate state of flooding?
0.05 metres

Click on the different watertight compartments and analyse the triangles. How many damaged compartments does the
following ship survive?
2 compartments
