Stability - ANS-The tendency of a ship to rotate one way or the other (to right itself)
Initial stability - ANS-The stability of the ship in the range from 0degrees to 7/10degrees
3 parts of FCE - ANS-1. Compartment is open to the sea
2. Compartment is partially flooded
3. Compartment is off-centerline
3 basic conditions which may cause the ship to have a permanent list - ANS-1. G
moved off centerline
, 2. -GM
3. Combination of both
Corrections for G off centerline - ANS-1. Determine cause if list
2. Shift weight to high side
3. Add weight to high side / remove weight from low side
Causes of -GM - ANS-Removal of low weight
Addition of high weight
Shifting weight up
FSE
FCE
Corrections for -GM - ANS-Eliminate FSE/FCE
add weight low / symmetrically
Remove weight high / symmetrically
Move weight down / symmetrically
Limitations to ship's design criteria - ANS-1. Limiting draft marks not submerged (prior to
damage)
2. No abnormal topside weight
3. Liquid loading instructions are followed
4. Watertight integrity is maintained
