demanded in all offshore services companies worldwide. Due to the sensitive
nature of work with offshore drilling/work over rigs and oil platforms within the
oilfields, the need to have a well trained, familiarized and competent officers,
those who can efficiently perform their duties and maintain efficiency in operating
vessels of different types and functions, deemed to be a necessity for both oil
companies and offshore services companies.

Training and familiarization programs for any type of job, is considered vital need,
specially for those type of jobs where alertness, cautions, precautions and safety
are every day practice, and offshore support vessels operations take important
and essential role among these jobs.

Familiarization Programs for newly joined officers and refresher programs

for officers already working onboard the offshore support vessels, will for
sure increase the efficiency and ability of the officers, to achieve successful
progress, performance and maintain readiness to efficiently encounter any
sudden or abnormal conditions with sufficient and adequacy of knowledge .

IMO have encouraged marine companies to enhance safety and safety

awareness for their crew , and to adopt ISM & SMS with procedures for officers
familiarization and procedures for handing over from one officer to another
supported by check lists and forms. IMO also called companies to fulfill their
obligations towards a safe working environment, and environmental protection
policy.

With the familiarization and refresher programs for officers holding an STCW

TCPA. Is the Time of Closest Point of Approach.

Question:- What is the Free Surface effect, how does it effect stability of vessel?

Answer:- Free surface effect occurs when Ballast Tanks are partially filled with

water , the movement of the water surface inside the tanks will cause the Kg.
of

the liquid to move up and thus will cause drop in GM . The Max. effect when

the tanks are 50% loaded.

To kill this effect we have to get tanks either full or completely empty.

Question:- Vessel light ship weight 800 t. with KG. 4.6 m and KM=6.6Mthe

The following weights were loaded

loaded 150 t. kg= 3.5m and 220 t.- kg=4.0m and 80 t. kg= 4.8 m

A tank with 50 t. ballast water Kg =1.5m with free surface.

Calculate final GM.

Answer:-

Weight KG Moment
FORM Annex OFP-2.0 Officers Familiarization Program Page 14 of 21

800t.(light ship) 4.6 3680

150t.(cargo) 3.5 525

220t.(cargo) 4.0 880

80t.(cargo0 4.8 384

50t. (ballast) 1.5 75

Total 1300 t Sum. Moments=5544

Final KG= Sum. Moments / Total weight= 5544/1300 = 4.26

Solid GM = KM - KG= 6.6 - 4.26= 2.34m

Free surface effect = Free surface moment / Total weight = 75 / 1300= 0.057

Final GM= solid GM - Free surface effect= 2.34 - 0.057= 2.283m

Question:-Find The Fresh Water Allowance (FWA) for a vessel of Displacement 1700 t.

And TPC. 9 tons.

Answer:- FWA= displacement/4 TPC = 1700/4x9 =47.2 mm.

Question:- A vessel of displacement 1580 t. at main draft 3.2 m. find the change in

Draft if sailing from sea water to a water of density 1005

Answer:- from Stability booklet onboard ,obtain the TPC at that displacement , let us
say

It is 11 ton.

Change of draft= FWA X (sea water density-dock water density)/ 25

FWA= displacement/4TPC = 1580/4 x 11 = 35.9 mm.

Then . change of draft= 35.9 X( 1025-1005) /25 = 35.9 X 0.8 = 28.72 mm = 2.87 cm

Which is 0.0287 m increase in draft.

New main draft =3.20 + 0.0287 = 3.2287 m.
